Extend mobile ring time - Mobile Carriers


	Extend mobile ring time	View full version
User #141990 1886 posts Elucubrator Whirlpool Enthusiast	Hi folks. I'm sure I read a post just the other day on extending the ring time on a mobile before it would divert to voicemail. Blessed if I can find it now. There is an old thread on this topic, but it's archived now. The question does seem to pop up occasionally, so I thought I'd put in here what I know of the subject. I had this very question today for my new Vodafone service. It seems all networks support only options between 5 and 30 seconds, in 5 second increments. So, in each case XX is a number between 5 and 30 that is a multiple of 5. Vodafone * * 61 * [voicemail no] * * XX # SEND (for diversion to voicemail) * * 61 * 0414122000 * * XX # SEND (for diversion to CALLminder) Diversions (call-forwarding) and cancellations, and call barring can also be set using GSM dial codes. B Digital * * 61 * 321 * * XX # SEND Optus * * 61 * 321 * * XX # SEND Telstra * * 61 * 101 * * XX # SEND or Contact Telstra Mobile on 125 111 for assistance. (Real helpful.) 3 * * 61 * 0430005333 * * XX # SEND or * * 61 * 333 * * XX # SEND Feel free to add any others!	anchor posted 2007-May-16, 10pm AEST edited 2007-May-17, 9am AEST

(Anybody with access to the Helpdesk platform will be able to change the diversion time for you).	anchor posted 2007-May-16, 10pm AEST

User #7158 4609 posts Darkiris Whirlpool Forums Addict	*61333**30# reads in english as When there is no answer (61) divert to phone number 333 after a 30 second delay It's nothing to do with the country code, 61 indicates "no answer", 62 indicates "no coverage/phone off", 67 indicates "when phone is busy" etc Any country codes will be in the voicemail number...	anchor posted 2007-May-16, 11pm AEST edited 2007-May-17, 12am AEST

User #141990 1886 posts Elucubrator Whirlpool Enthusiast	Darkiris writes... 61 indicates "no answer", 62 indicates "no coverage/phone off", 67 indicates "when phone is busy" etc Ahhh...I see! (I used to be with Vodafone many years ago on 2G, and back then they provided thick, detailed and informative brochures on the network. I remember several pages full of call-forwarding and time extension codes. Silly me, I chucked it only 22 months ago when I went to 3. I know there's reason why I hoard so much stuff...sooner or later it comes in handy!) So, this table on Vodafone's site makes sense now. It lists the following diversion codes: All Calls 21 No Answer 61 Unreachable 62 Engaged Call Type Codes 67 All Call Types 10 Voice calls 11 Mobile Terminating Fax Calls 13 Mobile Terminating Fax Data 20 (Does anyone even use fax calls on handsets anymore?)	anchor posted 2007-May-16, 11pm AEST
User #7158 4609 posts Darkiris Whirlpool Forums Addict	yeah the vodafone site is really hard to follow...try this one instead www.cellular.co.za/gsm_hash_code.htm or www.mobileshop.org/usertech/gsmcodes.htm	anchor posted 2007-May-16, 11pm AEST edited 2007-May-16, 11pm AEST
User #141990 1886 posts Elucubrator Whirlpool Enthusiast	Darkiris, you seem to have a good handle on this. Each network seems to use the GSM code, and then 3 numbers, except for Vodafone. Some of the stuff I found on websites had 10-digit numbers as well. Is that because a 10-digit number will work, and the last 3 digits will also do the trick? If so, does that mean Vodafone's divert number could also be * * 61 * 000 * * XX # SEND? I get a little paranoid about mucking with things that have triple-zeros in 'em if I don't know what I'm doing.	anchor posted 2007-May-16, 11pm AEST
User #7158 4609 posts Darkiris Whirlpool Forums Addict	hehehe well no with vodafone you're going to need all the digits See with 3 they have two separate numbers but they both dial to voicemail from a 3 simcard now you try dialing 000 from your simcard ;) That being said i can't generalise for all because i only know 3, because i have a 3 phone. But when you ring up customer care they generally insist you use the longer number and not the three digit one. I have no idea why though... (my guess is that the shorter phone number diverts to the longer one but don't quote me!) So in anycase the longer version is always best!	anchor posted 2007-May-16, 11pm AEST edited 2007-May-16, 11pm AEST

Vodafone * * 61 * 0414122000 * * XX # SEND Diversions (call-forwarding) and cancellations, and call barring can also be set using GSM dial codes. This isn't the code to extend the ring time for voicemail. If I'm not mistaken (I'm not at work, so I can't check) 0414122000 is the number for CALLminder - so if you use this code, you'll divert your phone to the "the number you are calling is not available, if you want to send you number as a txt etc etc etc" service. To divert to voicemail, you need to put your voicemail box number in place of 0414122000. Each Vodafone customer has a unique vmb number, To find your vmb number, call customer care, or if your phone supports it, go into the call diversion menu, choose a diversion you have active to voicemail, check status, and check the number it's diverting to. That's the number you need to use.	anchor posted 2007-May-17, 9am AEST

Michael, this isn't a fanboi thread. If you can't be bothered checking the info regarding other carriers and have nothing constructive to say, then don't offer yet another pointless post. I did check the websites of the different carriers, and there is nothing to suggest any of them wouldn't help a customer who rings asking for advice. I know Vodafone does do it, because I asked them. But I am also quite happy to do it myself, and find it easier to do so without having to navigate through a menu and wait in a call queue.	anchor posted 2007-May-17, 9am AEST

User #141990 1886 posts Elucubrator Whirlpool Enthusiast	Is this it? Optus offer something called Missed Call Service. According to its website, these are your options to set it up: 1. From your mobile – just dial 159 & follow the prompts 2. From the web – go to Optus Zoo, register or login and click on My Phone and then click on My Missed Call Service. You may then select the Missed Call Service settings request you would like. Note, you must be a registered Optus Zoo customer by SMS – using your mobile phone’s keypad, type ON or OFF and send the message to 159. 3. By SMS - using your mobile phone's keypad, type ON or OFF and send the message to 159.	anchor posted 2007-May-22, 4pm AEST

User #98592 831 posts 4wdaddict Whirlpool Enthusiast	Instead of fiddling with all these numbers, why has no one suggested to go into Call Diverts in the phone, selecting Call Divert No Answer, set the voicemail number and time that way? Much easier than trying to remember how many *** to press and which number.	anchor posted 2007-Jun-23, 9pm AEST
User #38472 1091 posts Eighty G Whirlpool Enthusiast	daisy writes... What do you mean, "overseas"? Sorry, should have clarified. I will be travelling overseas in August, and was wondering if there is a code that will enable it to divert to voicemail automatically if I'm not in Australia	anchor posted 2007-Jun-24, 12am AEST
User #141990 1886 posts Elucubrator Whirlpool Enthusiast	Eighty G writes... wondering if there is a code that will enable it to divert to voicemail automatically if I'm not in Australia Yeah, just use the codes for your carrier as above, selecting the divert-all-call option, diverting to your voicemail.	anchor posted 2007-Jun-24, 12am AEST
User #38472 1091 posts Eighty G Whirlpool Enthusiast	cheers, I figured I'd have to do that cos I couldnt find an 'i'm overseas, so only divert it when I'm OS' option... I guess I'll just have to remember to un-divert all when I return	anchor posted 2007-Jun-24, 1am AEST
