Miss Fewer Calls

Ever just miss a call because you couldn't get your phone out of your purse or pocket in time? A simple call to your cell phone provider can give you an extra 10 seconds to answer your phone before the call is sent to your voicemail.

Most cell phones will by default ring for about 20 seconds. If you give your carrier (ATT, Verizon, Sprint, Nextel, Boost...) a call you can have them change the default 20 second ring to 30 seconds that way you have more time to answer it. As far as I know every cell phone carrier can increase (or decrease) the amount of time you have to answer your call.
