I don’t see a “my digital phone” prompt when I go to account overview…

Thank you for replying back to us, @Chasmuel.

Do you have a Traditional landline or AT&T Phone, digital service?? This is to ensure that we provide you with the right steps in order for you to change the number of rings before your phone goes to voicemail.

Please let me know which phone you have.
