To make your iPhone ring more than 4 times, you need to adjust the call forwarding settings to extend the ring duration. Dial `*#61#` and press call to find your voicemail number. Then dial `61YOUR_VOICEMAIL_NUMBER11N#`, replacing `YOUR_VOICEMAIL_NUMBER` with the number you obtained and `N` with a desired ring duration (15, 20, 25, or 30 seconds). This change will allow more time before calls are sent to voicemail. Remember, this process may vary slightly depending on your carrier.**
