Number of rings

You can set the answering system to answer an incoming call after two, three, four, five or six rings. You can also select toll saver. If toll saver is selected, the answering system answers a call after two rings when you have new messages, and after four rings when there are no new messages. This feature allows you to check for new messages and avoid paying long distance charges when calling from out of your local area. By default, the answering system answers an incoming call after four rings.
