• Calls going straight to voicemail

    From Connor Shannon@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 24 12:25:33 2024
    Hi.

    A couple times recently I needed to call a company's support ppl and
    when they called back their call went right to my iPhone voicemail it
    didn't ring or anything. I googled and found out about an iPhone setting
    called Silence Unknown Callers but I checked and I don't have that on.
    B'cuz I don't know what number the support ppl will use I can't put them
    in my Contacts. How can I make sure that any body that calls I can see
    the call and answer it?

    Another possible cause is a very weak cellular signal in the area you were in at the time. Loss of cellular signal while a call is incoming would
    result in that call going straight to voicemail (same as if your phone
    was turned off at the time).

    Hmmm maybe so. I do have kinda a weak signal at my desk and in fact I
    lost a couple of calls today. Maybe I'll have somebody call me when the
    signal bars are better and see if it does the same thing. Thank you.

    If calls are being dropped that's definitely a sign that you are losing cellular connectivity.
