Also I can not find anywhere to change the ring duration before being diverted to answerphone.

no way to change duration on p800, may be w/ your carrier, inquire.
as for sms alert go to phone icon third one from top left>edit>preference>sound and alert>look into ring data

been posted before!

Yes it's been posted before, but it's in Control Panel and then into
Messaging accounts on the Connections tab - and then into 'Alerts'.
But I agree on the other question. It has nothing to do with the phone
it's a matter for the carrier.

Cheers martingale, that was well hidden. I had changed the data ringtone but it had no effect.

as a beginner i also thought of the data ring-tone as SMS ring-tone. btw, what the hell is this data ring-tone ?

anyway, they should keep all settings in one place.

data ring tone is when a modem is dialing to your phone.
In GSM it is possible to detect the call before answering, therefore you have DATA Ringtone & also FAX RingTone

you can change the sms ringtone, when you go to control panel than below to connections>>Messaging accounts>>alerts
