4 rings not enough time for in-phone voicemail anymore
et_phone_home:
I'm currently using Obihai with Obivoice. I'm also forwarding my GV number to OV.
Before, when I was using GV directly with Obihai, the 4-ring setting before the phone voicemail kicked in worked fine. Now that I'm forwarding my GV to OV, the 25 second limit is making it so that the calls are going directly to GV voicemail instead of being recorded on the in-phone voicemail. Why is this happening? Is it because the calls are being routed to OV and it's taking longer than usual for the phone to ring? Anyway around this apart for changing the voicemail setting on the phone?

If you port your GV number to ObiVoice the 25 second rule will not apply.

I would prefer to keep my GV number because I like the Google spam call filtering feature. I can make it so that my phone goes to it's inbuilt voicemail after 3 rings, but this just seems like too short of a time. Why Google doesn't allow you to change the voicemail timing is beyond me.

You can try changing the ring pattern.
The default for a SPx is Ring Profile A and Ring Pattern 1.
This is Ring Pattern 1:
60;(2+4)
The 2+4 means ring for 2 seconds and the silence for 4 seconds.
The pattern keeps repeating.
That's 6 seconds for each ring.
3 rings equals 18 seconds before the 4th ring.
If you change the ring pattern to:
60;(2+3.5)
Now 3 rings equals 16.5 seconds.
Keep adjusting the Ring Pattern until you get the longest pattern that works.

@azrobert When I first started reading your post I thought "how stupid" because I didn't see where you were going with it. By the time I got to the end I thought "genius". When you are only trying to buy a second or two this looks like a valid and creative solution for those people using an old school answering machine.
Great idea!
