Your iPhone rings only four times before going to voicemail because the default ring time is set to 20 seconds. You can change this duration by dialing a specific code: Open the phone app, dial *#61# to get your voicemail number (write it down), then dial 61YourVoicemailNumber1130# to extend the ring time to 30 seconds. Replace '30' with the desired seconds (up to 30).
