It’s very tiring when you finally set your ringtone on your phone and get someone to call you so you can hear that melody, but that melody is cut off halfway through.
At that point, it’s totally justified to want to start World War III because you don’t know how to fix it.
However, the next time your annoying ex or boss calls you and you wish you didn’t answer them and then lie about not being able to answer the phone, we have good news for you. Instead of just hanging up, listen to your favorite song by Beyoncé or Shakira all the way, and we’ll explain how.

How long does a phone ring?

The duration of a call is usually between 20 and 30 seconds before it leads to a voice message. For Android users, it is 30 seconds, and for iPhones 20 seconds.
But if you want to change the duration of the call before it switches to voicemail, here’s how to do it:
Step 1
Find out if your phone provider has a customer number you can use to change this. In order to extend or reduce the length of the ringing time of your telephone, it is sufficient to call the number of your provider and tell him how long you would like it to last.
Step 2
Simply get an iPhone.
Of course, this is a joke. iPhone users can extend the length of the call to 40 seconds before the voice message. If that’s what you want, but you have Android, unfortunately, that option is not possible.

The iPhone offers its users the possibility to extend the duration of their calls with a single call to the technical service. All iPhone devices have an automatic default ring duration of 20 seconds.
This can be extended to an additional 10 or 20 seconds only if you call technical support and request that option. After that AT&T will allow you the full length of 40 seconds.
The longer the call, the more time you actually get to pick up. I know it sounds trivial, but imagine racing with your voicemail every time.
For example, your mom calls you, but your phone is at the bottom of your backpack. By the time you take it out, more than 20 seconds have passed and you’re doomed to a voicemail. And after listening to the message you have to call your mom again in order to answer her. Too complicated for something that can take 10 seconds out of your day to avoid a similar situation next time.
What is the maximum length of a ringtone allowed on an Android?
Actually, there is no limit on Android. It sounds great? Well, there is a catch.
Regardless of the fact that there is no limit, your ringtone can last only 20-30 seconds. Therefore, shorten your favorite song to your favorite part in order to hear it. Or simply personalize multiple songs.
