Can I make the Lumia 530 ring longer?

[Windows Central Question]

can i make the lumia 530 ring longer

The 530 goes to voicemail too quickly, I'd like it to ring longer, say 30 seconds, can it be changed?

There really is not a way that I know of. I believe the amount of time is dictated by your carrier. My phone goes about 30 seconds if I counted correctly during a test I just ran...

Disable the voicemail. Seldom do people talk to machines.

I talk to machines all the time... LOL I have Cortana on my phone.

I think that would work, but the OP just wants longer to get the phone out of their pocket/purse not have to toggle V-Mail on and off all the time.

I tried unchecking the call forward to V-mail "When I don't answer" and it would not save to settings....
