Why do my iPhone calls go straight to voicemail without ringing?
When your iPhone goes straight to voicemail, you may have unwittingly changed your voicemail settings on your iPhone. You may also be in an area that has low connectivity, which sends the calls straight to voicemail. There are several solutions to this problem, and you will go through some of them in this article; the solutions are fast and easy to implement.
Stop your iPhone calls from going straight through to your voicemails by going through this checklist.
Step 1. Check if your “Do Not Disturb” function is turned on.
Go to the upper right hand corner of your iPhone, next to the battery icon, and see if there is a Crescent Moon appearing there. This indicates that the “Do Not Disturb” function is on.
Step 2. Switch off “Do Not Disturb” from the Settings app or Control Center.
Go to the Settings app and then select the “Do Not Disturb” option. There is a switch next to the “Manual” option; click on it to turn off this feature. Alternatively, you can Swipe upwards from the bottom of your iPhone screen to access the Control Center of your iPhone device. Look for the crescent moon icon and then tap on it. This will turn off this feature.
Step 3. Switch off “Do Not Disturb” Schedules.
Sometimes the phone goes into this mode because you have scheduled it to do so at a certain time. Go to the Settings app, access the “Do Not Disturb” section, and then turn off scheduling.
There are times when your iPhone goes straight to voicemail for no particular reason; you may even have turned off your “Do Not Disturb” function and this does not help. Here is a hack that you can use to solve this issue.
Dial *73 and all your call forwarding options will be turned off. For about 99% of the time, this hack will stop your calls going directly to voicemail.
At times, the problem may be associated with the settings that you had made if you had an older iPhone device which is still docked your carrier. The problem happens even when the old phone is no longer being used. This is because the calls are directed to the old phone, and when it does not ring, the calls go straight to voicemail.
Step 1. Check if the old phone is still configured to your carrier.
See if the old iPhone was docked by turning on Stream Pandora over Wi-Fi. You may see an icon that shows the carrier of the old iPhone on your screen.
Step 2. Reset the old phone or put it in “Airplane Mode”.
Make sure that the old phone has been reset to factory settings and then switch it off. Alternatively, you can set the old iPhone to Airplane mode, which effectively runs it into an iPod; the problem with your voicemail will be gone.
