More Rings

[Bazile]

Can you alter the number of rings on a landline , before the answer machine cuts in ?

Does it depend on the make of phone / the phoneline provider ?

[Postdog]

As said, it is a setting on the answerphone

Usually its 2, 4, 6 or 8 depending on the model.

The phone line provider simply sends the signal to say a call is trying to get to you; it has to be your phone / ansafone equipment that decides when it answers automatically and takes a message.

....if all else fails, read the instruction manual.

I assume the answers removed were rude - i dont know why some people feel the need . Immaturity i assume .

I've not got the manual , hence my posting the question .

Thanks for the other responses .

[Baldric]

Is the Manual available on line?

[Old_Geezer]

Could have been that, or maybe ads. Were gone before I got here anyway.

[cupotee2]

Is it possible to retrieve a copy of the manual on line? Type the make and model number into Google ot may just be there somewhere.

ok thanks
