The latest annoyance is the length of time my phone rings. I can remember the last time changed my plan, hmmmm...... maybe 4-5 years ago, I decided that I didn't want the messagebank. I had to call to have it removed and my son suggested that I should extend the ringtime at the same time .....which I did.
Well I have just changed my phone and plan and you guessed it......it's back, the message bank and the standard 15 second ringtime. So I decided to call telstra and as expected they were very busy and I was put into line. While I was waiting, I was googling.....you know how I love googling and I googled the issue...the ringtime. I found lots of sites discussing the way to fix it without calling (so I hung up on telstra), which was great as well as the section on the telstra site where they give you the instruction. It was so easy I thought I would share it with anyone who's interested. BTW this will only work for telstra, but there is a fix for other companies....just google it.
The procedure is as follows......
You extend the ringtime to 30 seconds (which is the maximum) by dialling the following phone number...
**61*101**30# (don't forget to press the call button).....then hang up.
