how to change basic functions such as number of rings.

I'm not a newby when it comes to technology but i find this phone difficult to use, for even the simpliest things.  i'm trying to change the number of rings for an incoming phone call before the phone goes to messaging.  how difficult can that be, but i can't figure it out.  help     frustrated in Russell, Ontario.

I too dearly, dearly  wish I had not bought this infuriating phone..it reduces me to tears of frustration.

E.G. A simple thing like changing number of rings is much easier said than done.. Spent ages on phone  with a Virgin guy..was given strings of digits etc to put in my phone but still  failed to  change number of rings.  Gave up.  What an earth are Sony thinking setting the deafult number of rings to just 4!!  Next virgin customer service person I spoke to said it wasn't even  anything to do with them and I should read my Sony manual. Fact is,  I don't now care anymore who is responsible..a default setting  of  4 rings is no use to anyone and how can a phone be sent out offering just  that. To my mind it  just shows utter contempt for users.

Also,  I live in the middle of Cardiff and the Ray doesn't pick up network signal  as clearly as on my old Samsung.  Can only assume that is this phone though I'm sure Sony will blame my network. Combined with  useless and tiresome defaults for  basic functions such as no. of rings and volume  I resent every second of my time that Sony have wastedas I  try to get th e phone useable . I bought it for the camera but no matter how brill the technology,  the whole idea of having to thump the screen to get a picture is totally mad, means I need to use both hands to take a  picture, one to hold it steady as I thump the screen..what!!  and.... is there a zoom function.. I can't find it.

Totally useless phone.
