I thought that feature was about how fast the phone polls the tower to check for calls. The lower the number the quicker your phone starts to ring when someone calls. I could be wrong but this is what I understand from reading around.

In CDMA what is meant by "slot cycle index"?
A 2.1 [Credit: Bill Walker]
On the CDMA Paging Channel (this is the shared channel that all phones listen to for incoming calls and other control info), time is divided into "slots". To conserve power, phones that are currently idle only "wake up" and listen for messages on the Paging Channel during their assigned slots. The slot cycle index determines how often the phone's slot comes around. If the slot cycle index is 0, the phone wakes up every 1.28 seconds. If it's one, it wakes up every 2.56 seconds. If it's two, it's every 5.12 seconds, and so on. The larger the setting, the more power is conserved, but the longer it takes to page the phone for an incoming call. You can imagine that if it were set to 10.24 seconds, few callers would hang on the line long enough for you to answer your phone.
There are two settings that govern this. One is the "preferred slot cycle index" in the phone, and can be set via service programming. The other is the "maximum slot cycle index" set in the base station and broadcast in overhead messages on the Paging Channel. The phone has to use whichever number is smaller.

I think Carloscda39 wants to make his phone ring longer (or shorter) before voicemail picks up. In that case, im pretty sure that customer service can do that if you call them up. I dont know of any tweak in the phone that can change that.
