If your Android phone rings three times then goes to voicemail, it's likely due to your voicemail settings. The duration before a call goes to voicemail is usually set by your carrier, but you might have the option to adjust it. Try dialing 61*voicemail number11*seconds# (replace 'voicemail number' with your actual voicemail number and 'seconds' with a longer duration, in increments of 5 up to 30). If this doesn't work, contacting your service provider for further assistance or configuration options might be necessary.
