my phone only rings about 5 times before it switches to answer phone how to i make it longer before the switch over if its any help i'm on orange?

Menu -> (Tools ->😉 Settings -> Phone -> Call divert -> Voice calls -> if not answered -> Options -> Activate -> To voice mailbox

There you can select the amount of time voicemail will wait before it kicks in.

However keep in mind that this setting is with the network, not the handset - when you go through that the phone makes request to the network for the change, so it's possible to fail.
