Extending Ring Time

I contributed the following to FAQ - CapFAQ a long time ago, and since that page has received over 4,000 views I thought it might be worthwhile to post it here. Although originally intended for Captivate users, it's applicable to the Skyrocket, too. FYI, default ring time: 20 seconds. This procedure increases the ring time to 30 seconds. Enjoy!

Extending the length of time your phone rings before rolling over into voicemail...

1. On your phone, dial *#61# and place the call.
2. Following information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages.
3. Write down the number (including +1)
4. Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum
5. Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.

Note: I am not the original author of this procedure. If I knew its origins, I'd provide appropriate credit.
 
It worked for me! Thanks! Now, hopefully, I'll have time to find my purse and get the phone out before it goes to VM.
