How can I extend the the number of rings for incoming calls on my iPhone?

I am tired of 4 rings, then voicemai on my iPhone. I am continuously missing calls when away from phone as they go too quickly into voicemail. Does anyone else share my frustration? Where is the feature to control the number of rings on your iPhone for incoming calls prior to going to voicemail? Please advise.

My carrier, optimum, indicated it was a solely a hardware feature (if even at all) when I upgraded recently to iPhone 16 from iPhone 14. Just followed up with a different representative and he indicated the same. Seems they are unaware of their services that reside with them. Frustrating.

They are wrong. You may be able to dial in a code though
