I have spent over an hour struggling with the AI assistant without solving my problem over number of rings before voicemail. The lack of technical support is very frustrating, especially considering the amount I pay Bell each month

Hey there, @nancy8. Thanks for reaching out.
To change the number of rings please follow the steps below.
- Dial *94 and listen for 3 beeps.
- Enter the number of rings you want there to be before switching to Call Answer (minimum 2 rings, 1 ring is not an option).
- Listen for two confirmation beeps, like a busy signal.
- Hang up.

If you need help with anything else, please don't hesitate to let us know.
Best wishes.
