Ok, I read a string on how to set the number of rings before the phone goes to voicemail.

Let me say that the AT&T guy left an hour ago. I did nothing to the settings online or via the *98 features by calling.

Voicemail? I wish.

What I get is 2 rings and then nothing. No voicemail via U-verse, noting. At two rings my home answering machine can't get to it because it is set to 4 rings before pick up.

So I initiate a support chat online. Apparently this is so complex of a thing to do I had to be transferred to a Tier 2 support person.

They tell me it has to be done on their end, and it isn't a number of rings setting, it is a time delay setting. Excuse me? You mean to tell me that AT&T with all their resources cant come up with a solution that every $15.00 answering machine at Walmart has?

Right now, while I await the 1-4 hour activation time to go to a delay setting that "might" give me six rings before routing to voicemail I have to literally run to the phone to catch it before the caller is sent after two rings to oblivion where the phone simply disconnects because neither the U-Verse answering service nor my home answering machine can take a message.

This is well beyond unacceptable AT&T.

You need to do something about this yesterday.

How is it that you didn't think this through during the planning stages for your service? I work in a marketing department as a product manager and I can tell you I'd get fired in a NY second if I made this big of a mistake.

Totally and completely unacceptable. FIX IT AT&T, NOW!!
