Number of rings

You can set the answering system to answer an incoming call after 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6
rings. You can also select toll saver. If you choose toll saver, the answering system
answers a call after two rings when you have new messages, and after four rings
when there are no new messages. This enables you to check for new messages and
avoid paying unnecessary long distance charges if you are calling from out of your
local area.
If you want the built-in answering system instead of the voicemail to answer a call,
you should set the answering system to answer a call at least two rings before the
voicemail is set to answer. Contact your telephone service provider for information
on your voicemail settings.
