Hello everybody:)
I have a Nokia 8800
My partner has a Nokia 6230 .
My ringtone is 3.2mb and plays as an mp3 file for 3min 30 seconds.
My partners ringtones is 2.3mb and plays as an mp3 for 2min 30 seconds.
On checking when both are set as a ringtone the length for both phones is approx 40 seconds before it cuts off !!!!
The questions is "how do I go about adjusting the length of the time it will ring before it cuts off, with the recorded message this person is unavailable please try later". This is not a voicemail message as both our voicemail facilities are not activated
Any help please.
Regards
Tony

I don't know the answer to this, but seeing as it's the same for both of you, wouldn't it be a set network thing rather than something you can adjust?

if your phone came with phone tools disc it may be possible to edit it or use nero wave editor you may have to make a new folder then apply the new ring tone what you have edited as your ringtone its hard to explain but simple to do hope this helps

Hi Stevie
That just might be the answer.
I will let you know how I go on
Regards
Tony

:help: Bump Bump Please :help:

Don't know how much it helps, but on my 6230i, the max time I can set before diverting to voicemail is 30 seconds. There's no option for setting times when you turn off divert, so I guess it must kick in automatically to reject calls after 40 seconds. Maybe they are scared of clogging up the network with unanswered ringing calls? :)

I downloaded Madonna's Hung Up for my 6230i ringtone which lasts 16 seconds. It isn't long enough if my phone's out of reach or in my bag, like it was yesterday afternoon, and it doesn't repeat. I guessed the tone was only that long because Abba probably woulnd't allow the sample to be used for downloading so it's literally just the second verse of the song and after I missed the call yesterday in the time it took my mum to pass my bag across her living room, I timed it and with the fade out it can stretch to 20 seconds.

Your service provider can change the time it takes to go to voicemail, but I think Rich is probably right. 30 seconds max is about right for mine too.

Turn off your voice mail and see what happens!

I think this issue has already been addressed.
I belong to the Nokia discussion group forum, I have addressed the same problem, with varying answers.
I have emailed Nokia direct and this is the reply:
Dear *********
Thank you for contacting Nokia Helpline.
With regard to your email concerning Nokia handsets, please note Nokia Contact Centre has no access to this thread. We would advise that you contact us with your query for further assistance.

So that is my next step.
I will keep all at The S F informed as to my progress, judging by the various replies I think other S F members will like to take advantage if it works.

It's not the voicemail that is cutting you off. After a certain amount of time, your phone/network providor will just end the call saying you're not available. Turning off voicemail just means they won't ask anyone to leave a message.

I'd guess that if both phones are cutting off at the same time, it's a network feature, and the only way to extend that is to ask your provider very nicely, and I think I know what they're answer will be...

Hello mobile phone people
I have just phoned the Nokia local call rate line, and if you are not a Nokia club member you MUST
dial the premium rate number @ .75p per minute.
So that you may repeat may get help
Is that good p.r or what:huh:
