@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!
I've made plenty of stupid suggestions in the past. Once in awhile I get one right.
Let's wait until et_phone_home reports back to see if this suggestion works.

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.
When time runs out on GV I do know that if you port your GV number you can change the length of ring in the OV web portal up to 90 sec. It sounds like you are looking for a more sophisticated approach to the issue, though.

You can try changing the ring pattern.
...
+1
I also thought that it was a clever idea after reading it.

Thanks, I'll give this a shot.

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...thanks again for your suggestion. It worked out great. I'll probably tweak it a bit more when i get the time but for now I can get 4 ring tones in before the 25 second limit so the phone's voicemail picks up without issues.
I set the thing to (1.7+2.5). I'm sure I can get it a bit higher then this, but it's fine for now.
Thanks again.
