The Ring Time is the duration in seconds that the caller will hear a ringing sound or on-hold music before the call is considered unanswered. Customers can change the ring time to suit their organisational requirements. The default ring time is 32 seconds.
The article below outlines the process for changing the Ring Time on a phone extension. The process is the same for ring groups and queues.
