This is a setting from the network not the handset, 30 secs is the max and 20 the default, there is a code sequence you can enter (I've posted it a few times) or you can call your service provider to ask for it to be set to the max.

thanks for the link but the manual doesn't say how to do it -I think you need to text a code to the voicemail number but not sure as no info in the manual

I've just done this on my S3 but the number is for vodafone, don't know if other networks are the same.
Dial **61*121*11*XX#
where XX is the number of seconds you want in multiples of 5 only.

Prudie you are a total star - #result (I'm with vodafone) . Thank you so much I will send you a virtual big box of chocs and an alcoholic beverage of your choice :-)
