# of rings before it goes to voicemail
How do I change the # of rings before it goes to voicemail? I've looked in Settings but did not find anything pertinent.

Your carrier controls how many seconds before it is sent to voicemail. The voicemail is not actually recorded on your device, it is a feature of your cell provider and they store the voicemail on their servers after a certain number of seconds, it is not actually the number of rings. Your phone just grabs the voicemail from their server when needed. Let us know who your cellular provider is and we may be able to provide additional assistance as each have their own way to do that.
