[QUOTE="p_rod, post: 1868088, member: 174646"] Hey chscag! Nope....I'm not the type to wear an Apple watch. It wouldn't handle the abuse I put either my Seiko or Luminox watches through...plus both only need a new battery about every 5 years..... and both watches are going strong after over 10 years. I've researched this and there are solutions....by dialing up a bunch of **'s and and a two digit number...then you get a 12-15 digit number to enter with the number of seconds (up to 30) at the end of the number to extend your ring time. Even the Apple forum has this "solution" on it but I just do not find too much GOOD info on the Apple-based support forums....that is why I come here. Most info of what I've found out there tell me that your carrier doesn't have control over how long your ring times are until it goes to voice mail....and it is very dependent on you carrier.... so I was just hoping that someone here who has done the dial *66*.etc, etc, etc has done it successfully and can tell me it is legit. Why Apple doesn't give US the choice of extending it in their Settings is beyond me. A lot of what Apple does is beyond me....but that's another post for another day. To be truthful, even after just getting a new battery replaced in my iPhone X yesterday.... I am about ready to invest in a $50.00 burner phone and just toss this one.... out of 256 GB of space on this phone, I still have 230GB space left. That should tell you something. :cool: I just need something to make an occasional call...and that's about it. Thanks for the input..... I'll keep looking....... [/QUOTE]
