How Do I Change The Number Of Rings Before The Answering Machine Picks Up?

If there are already messages, the phone picks up after 1 ring. I want to change the number of rings before the phone goes to answering machine so its 4. This is an issue with both unchecked voice mail and already checked voicemail.   Can that be accomplished?
