I have an HTC Desire on T-Mobile.
I want to increase the number of rings/amount of time before calls are forwarded to voicemail.
Does anyone know how to do this or have a code to enable it?
Thanks in advance.
Last time I had this problem I rung customer services (150) and they sorted it in 30 Seconds.
**61*+44yourvoicemailnumberhere**30# (30 being the seconds till Voicemail kicks in, Can be change between 5-30 Seconds) may also Work
If you go into "Settings -> Call -> Call Forwarding -> Forward when unanswered" it asks you for the number to forward to (your voicemail number) and the delay.

Hi All
I've been on the phone to O2 trying to find the code that will extend the period of time my phone rings before passing to voicemail. They gave me some great long code etc but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas about how to do this on the orbit ?

I'm interested in this too.
I remember the old days of a 'normal' phone where you would just set the 'Divert if not answered' and the like and it gave you a length of time to ring before diverting. there doesn't seem to be anything like this on the orbit though..at least not that I've found yet.
Hi, did you tried this ? :
1. Settings -> Phone -> Services
2. Call Forwarding -> Get Settings
3. Forward phone calls only if:
- No answer : (Voicemail number)
- Forward after (time)
Should do what you need.
for the most providers there is a code you have to dial with your phone to switch this on or off. ask your provider or search the homepage of your provider for this

worked for me like a charm cheers Mate
First you need to find your voicemail deposit number. Call your service provider's Customer Services department as they will know it.
PLEASE NOTE: deposit and retrieval numbers are usually different.
IE: my Voicemail retrieval = 121, My Vodafone Voicemail Deposit = +447899xxxxxxx
Once you've determined your voicemail number,
dial *61*(voice mail access number)**(time in multiples of 5 seconds)# and then press SEND/DIAL.
For example, if my voicemail access number is +447899111111 and I want it to ring for 30 seconds before being forwarded to voicemail,
I would type: *61*+447899111111**30#
It is my understanding that the maximum time a phone can ring for before being transferred to voicemail is 30 seconds.
I find this information useful because not all phones have the option to set the transfer time built into their settings/interface.
Hello everyone,
I have been using youmail's voicemail service for some time now, but I am having some problems with my new Dash. My missed calls are being forwarded correctly, but my voice mail short cut, 1, is not working correctly. I change the voice mail number, Start -> Settings -> Phone -> Call Options, but when I reboot my phone it reverts to the default T-Mobile voicemail number. My question is does anyone know of a way to make this change permament. I asked youmail support, but they said to ask T-mobile. T-Mobile told me to use their voicemail service. Hopefully, y'all can help.

I have Youmail voicemail. it's working fine. Did you tell Youmail it was a new phone? Don't they have some setup number you have to dial
Hey everyone...so I've read that it is possible to set up Google Voice for my carrier's visual voicemail. I tried doing it by going to google.com/voice, logging in, adding my carrier's number, and activating it, but when I go to the Voice app, it says my carrier isn't set up to use Google Voicemail or something along those lines.
I'm hoping there's someone with an EVO who uses Google Voice to display voicemail for primary/carrier number. If someone knows how to do it, please tell me how you set it up! Thanks
The talk app can't do it automatically. Go to Google.com/voice. There is a spot in the settings for voicemail that tells you what to dial to setup conditional call forwarding on Sprint.

I received that message too. Like, jabba said, you just activate your number through google voice. They'll give you a number to dial into the key pad that starts with a *xxxxxxxxxxx. When you click "call" you'll hear a couple beeps then the call disconnects after 3 seconds.
Also, you might have to go into the phones voicemail settings (through the voice mail widget) and set it to google voice (instead of carrier VM).
I did this today and tested it out. Works perfectly.
Is there any way to reduce the number of rings before VM pickup when using the conditional forwarding to google voice? I had it set up for a while but it took so long to pick up that I switched it back to the sprint visual vm.
One cannot alter the number of rings
before voicemail hits on Sprint's network. This is a carrier setting.

Thank you. I did that last night but wasn't sure if it worked because I was still getting that popup

I also read about this that some people were NOT receiving calls and it would go straight to voicemail. Has this been the case with any of you?
Yes...this has been happening to me and I still can't get Google Voice set up...ARGH!!!! so frustrating

Hi, I use xdandroid with Oct 20th kernel. What I'm intended to do is to avoid incoming calls being interrupted during testing new builds, by setting up call forwarding from WM6, before launching xdandroid and test phone calls, then cancel call forwarding in xdandroid after then.
What I found is if I dial ##21# (the GSM command for cancelling call forwarding), xdandroid tells me "Cal forwarding Erasure was successful", but in fact calls are still being forwarded.
I did also looked in settings -> call settings -> call forwarding. I can cancel call forwarding from there but setting one up doesn't seems to work.
Does anyone notices this?
I would just cancel call forwarding when you get back to WinMo. That makes the most sense anyways, what if someone tries to call you in Android or while your rebooting to WinMo...? Seems kinda silly to me.
I don't think forwarding works in Android, for the record. If it does, there was another guy asking about it at Connect-UTB that would like to know how to use it
I recently decided to look into using YouMail. Basically, it forwards your unanswered calls to a mail box that is much more feature rich than the boring carrier voicemail. I have enabled call forwarding on my account, set up the call forward numbers, and my YouMail account is linked to my device. The only problem is that when I call my phone from Skype, I get a message saying something along the lines of "this voicemail inbox is not set up properly, please dial the number you are trying to reach in order to find the mailbox of the number you are calling".
As for the call forwarding options, there is the option of setting the voicemail number in the settings of the phone. I assume this is where I would enter the retrieval number and not the number to forward voicemail calls to. There is also the option to set where the calls are conditionally forwarded. This is where I assume I put the number where people actually leave voicemail, amirite?
Nevermind, it ended up being an OCN issue. I resolved it by getting YouMail Pro so I have my own personal voicemail number. Works great now!
