New to all of this stuff and, while I'm sure this has been asked before, *I* couldn't find it, so bear with me.
I am on Google Voice and a Obi 200. Doing good so far, however, I would like to increase the number of rings from 4 (I think) to 6 or 7. I looked all over Google Voice and didn't see any setting so I'm assuming it's an Obi setting.
Can anyone give me a hand, please?
This is probably the most wanted feature for Google Voice. GV Voicemail picks up in 25 seconds. There is no way to change that.
It isn't a setting on the OBi and it is technically imposssible to have a setting on the OBi to control how quickly GV voicemail answers.
It is true that there is no known way of extending the *25 second timer* that Google uses to transfer a call to voicemail. However, you can increase the number of *rings* that occur in that period by modifying the appropriate "Ring Settings > Ring Profile X > Ring Pattern Y" to have a shorter ring period. Thus, if, for instance, you have your own answering machine that picks up on the 4th ring, and you want to ensure it beats Google to the punch, this can be a way of achieving that goal.
