Your iPhone only rings three times before going to voicemail because it could be set to a default ring duration of 15 seconds. You can extend this duration by dialing `*#61#` to see your current settings and then changing it by dialing `61[voicemail number]11[seconds]#` (replace `[seconds]` with your desired duration like 30). This should give you more time to answer calls.
FAQs & Answers
- Why does my iPhone only ring a few times? Your iPhone may be set to a default ring duration, which typically lasts about 15 seconds. This results in only a few rings before the call goes to voicemail.
- How can I change the ring duration on my iPhone? You can change the ring duration by dialing `*#61#` to view your current settings, and then dial `61[voicemail number]11[seconds]#`, replacing `[seconds]` with your desired duration, such as 30 seconds.
- What happens if I don't change my iPhone's ring duration? If you don't change the ring duration, calls will continue to ring for the default time, potentially missing important calls if you're not able to answer in time.
- Can I set different ring times for different contacts on my iPhone? No, the ring duration setting applies to all incoming calls on your iPhone and cannot be customized on a per-contact basis.
