Settings>Apps>Phone>Silence Unknown Callers.

That's what happens when that option is turned on.

Why are unknown iPhone calls still going to voicemail after turning off Silence Unknown Callers? I have been expecting important calls so I turned OFF my silence unknown callers, but calls are still get blocked and going to voicemail. I have tried turning it on for a few days and then turning off and restarting my phone and any unknown number is still sent to voicemail. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

unknown number calls going straight to message My iphone 6S is sending unknown-senders' calls straight to message. Calls from known numbers get through fine. I've not got any "do not disturb" or "focus" settings on at all. I'd be grateful for any help on this - regards Bill
