How many times does a landline phone ring in 1 minute?

Asked by Dutchess_lll (8753points) May 16th, 2019

I seem to be having a difficult time finding that answer.
Would you say it was > or < 10 times?

The cadence for pots lines is typically a two second ring and a four second pause. So about ten times, the last (10th)ring will probably go slightly past 1 min.

Perfect. Thanks.
When do answering machines normally pick up? What ring?

My landline rang 4 times in 20 seconds, suggesting 12 times in a minute.
My answering machine has two settings, pick up after 4 rings, or 6 rings.

My machine answers at 6 rings if there is no calls on the answering machine, if the is an unheard message the machine will answer after 4 rings.
