Awsome! This is very useful info, and is now a sticky!

Worked on mine. 30 seconds seems to be about 6 rings . . . that sound right?

3. Enter **61*[number]*11*[delay]#[SEND] into your phone using the phone number (numbers only) as reported by the status & the delay can be set to (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30) seconds.
4. To verify that the settings are correct, enter *#61#[SEND] into your phone.

I hope this helps.

Wow! That looks like great info. I'll try it later today.

Thanks.

EDIT: Worked perfectly and produced exactly the effect I was looking for! Thanks for the excellent information.

Yes. 30 seconds gets you abuot 6 good rings instead of the 4 rings by default.

This does *NOT* work for Rogers GSM in Canada.

Have you contacted rogers and asked if they have something setup for this? If they do, you may want to post it here for everyone else to enjoy.

To the best of my knowledge, Rogers does not allow you to change the number of rings under any circumstances.

I have Cingular/AT&T and I am not able to change my settings. When I follow the instructions above, I receive an operation failed notice. I'm sure I must be doing something wrong. Anybody else having problems?

[bgattis]

This has worked for everyone that I know of that has Cing/AT&T. It works on any phone not just the Treo. You must be typing something in wrong.

I like your signature. Do you know to whom it's attributed, and how he really said it?
