Learn how to change the number of times your phone rings before a caller is directed to voicemail.
Changing the number of rings before your Xfinity Voice voicemail answers (typically six or higher) lets you use your personal answering machine to receive messages instead.
Change the number of rings before voicemail answers
To change the number of rings before voicemail answers:
- Sign in to Xfinity Voice Settings using your Xfinity ID and password.
