Do Not Disturb and Silence Funciton

I'm using ios 14.8 on my iPhone 12. I have had lots of trouble with my phone calls being silenced.

Even if don't use the Do Not Disturb function, the SILENCE function still silences my phone calls. Is the problem that with SILENCE you only have 2 choices: ALWAYS or 'when phone locked?' I do have to Allow All calls selected.

Thanks for the help!

That options only works if you have DND turned ON. Check your phone settings and turn off silence unknown callers.
