is there any way to make iphone ring longer?
How to Make Your iPhone Ring for 10 Seconds Longer
The iPhone’s default ring duration is 20 seconds. To extend your iPhone ring to 30 seconds:
- 1) Dial *#61# and tap Call.
- 2) Note the phone number shown on-screen.
- 3) Dial in a continuous sequence: **61*, the number from step 2 (not including country code) then **30# and tap Call.
WATCH: The exact steps to follow to extend your iPhone ring duration
Your iPhone should now ring longer — that is, for the full 30-second duration of your ringtone. To verify that your voicemails are still being sent to the correct place, repeat step 1 and check that the phone number matches.
