To extend the ring time on your phone before it goes to voicemail, dial *#61# to view your voicemail number. Next, dial 61*+Voicemail Numbern# and then call this code. Replace 'n' with a number between 5 to 30 (seconds you want your phone to ring). For example, 61*12345678915# sets it for 15 seconds. Note that this might vary slightly depending on your carrier, so check with them if you encounter issues.
