Typically, you dial a code followed by the number of seconds you want the phone to ring (usually in five-second increments up to 30 seconds). For example, entering \\61\101\\11\30# and calling that number might set your ring time to 30 seconds. Check with your carrier for the specific code and steps as this process can vary.
