Thought I'd pass this one along, not because the documentation is bad--it's actually quite clear--but as one more data point on why programmers and engineers should never be allowed to design user interfaces:

---------- Forwarded message ----------
Question :
How can I set my Sony Ericsson T200 handset to ring more often before
sending a call to voicemail? Sometimes my hands are full and I can't answer
immediately; I want to set it to ring seven times, so I have a better chance
of answering it. I can't find information on this in the user guide.
Answer:
If you wish to modify the number of rings before your calls are forwarded,
press **61*3436**20, then press on # and your call button. In this sequence,
3436 stands for your voice mail number and could be replaced by any ten (10)
digits telephone number of your choice.

The twenty "20" at the end of the sequence stands for twenty (20) seconds of
ringing. You can select the number of rings in blocks of five (5) seconds,
up to thirty (30) seconds.
