How do I adjust # of rings before answering?
My phone only rings twice, not allowing much of a chance to get to the phone and answer it. I've looked at the manual and don't seem to be able to find instructions on how to adjust the number of rings. Anyone know how to do this? Is it even possible?
Thanks so much! 🙂

You may have a bad phone. Let one of the Verizon stores check it out. The number of rings is set by the Verizon service and not by the phone.

Why should he have a VZW store check it out??? This is a GSM phone. It came from either Cingular or ATTWS. This means that VZW didn't set anything.
He should call customer svc (611) and let them know what is happening. They can probably do something to fix it.

I know this is kind of late, but it might help anybody who is new to this stuff and doesn't know what to do. The number of rings before the answering machine picks up can be changed by your carrier or you can change it on your own. To save me some time, here's a copy of what was posted in another forum:
