On the dial pad of your mobile phone, enter the following:
- * 61 * 647 383 2355 * 11 * time #
- Time: the number of seconds (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30) before the call transfers to voicemail.
Press Send.
A status message will be displayed on the screen.

Hello,

I am attempting to change the number of rings of on my Bell Mobility phone, iPhone 13 Pro Max.

I found instructions that say I should call *61*6473832355*11*(number of seconds 5-30 / by 5)#. When I do that, I get a message that the call cannot be complete as dialled. Can anyone tell me what is going wrong here?

mobile voicemail settings

I have followed the instructions to configure my phone to ring for 30 seconds before going to voicemail but it goes after about 20 seconds instead of 30. I know I'm programming it correctly because I have successfully set it to different times from 5 to 20 seconds. I'm entering *61*6473832355*11*30#

I have an iphone SE.

A separate weird thing is the automated voice telling the caller it's going to voicemail is different at 10 or less seconds than it is at 20 seconds. I don't know if that's related but it indicates to me that it goes through a different system depending on the duration.

I tried all of that before posting. The instructions work fine for 5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds but it won't go any higher than 20.

The question is number of rings, not the ring time. And the link in your response has conflicting advice. It tells you how to set the ring time, and then the Good to know note talks about the number of rings. And I can't get *61*6XXXXXXXX5*11*20# and press Send to work.
