Default Cant get to your mobile in time before voicemail kicks in?

Well, I for one had this problem, so I went looking for info on how to change the delay time.

I found it! The setting isnt changeable on my handset (N95) from the menu's, but may be on some models.

I'm on T-Mobile but the setting "should" be the same on most networks I think.

Right, to check the delay (default is 15 seconds)
*#61# (and press call)

If its of use to anyone, reply on here and let me know what network you are on, and we'll try and sort it to 25 or 30 seconds.

OK Ben
If your mobile number is 07940 123456
dial this on your phone
**61*440647940123456**30#
and press Call.

Let me know if it works!

If anyone else on T-Mobile does this, it might be worth dialling
*#67# [call]
to get their voicemail number, as there is a 'slight' possibility that the first few numbers at the start are different (although should still work!)

Some networks might not support 30 seconds, so if that is the case, change the above last number to 25

Try this..

Vodafone:

*#104# (call)
This should give you your voice mail number

Then do

**61* (voice mail number) *10*30# (call)

**61*123*11*30# (call)

Let me know if it works

Cool

A worthwhile post then

It will say divert activated, as essentially you are modifying the divert parameters.
