Incoming calls go directly to voice mail

The frustration of incoming calls going directly to voice mail!

Here are some possible reasons why this might be happening:

  1. Do Not Disturb (DND) mode: Check if your phone or phone service provider has a DND mode enabled. This feature can divert incoming calls to voice mail.
  2. Call forwarding: Ensure that call forwarding is not enabled on your phone or phone service provider's end. This feature can forward incoming calls to another number or voice mail.
  3. Voice mail settings: Check your voice mail settings to see if they are configured to answer calls automatically. You might need to adjust the settings to allow calls to ring through before going to voice mail.
  4. Phone settings: Check your phone's settings to see if there's an option to divert calls to voice mail. This might be a feature specific to your phone model or operating system.
  5. Network issues: If you're experiencing network issues or outages, it's possible that incoming calls are being diverted to voice mail.
  6. Carrier issues: If you're using a mobile phone, check with your carrier to see if there are any issues with their network or voice mail service.
  7. Phone app issues: If you're using a phone app to manage your calls, it might be causing the issue. Try closing the app or uninstalling and reinstalling it.

To resolve the issue, you can try the following:

  1. Check your phone's settings and voice mail settings to ensure that calls are not being diverted to voice mail.
  2. Disable DND mode or call forwarding if it's enabled.
  3. Restart your phone to refresh the settings and connections.
  4. Contact your phone service provider or carrier to report the issue and ask for assistance.
  5. Try using a different phone or device to see if the issue is specific to your current phone.

I hope these suggestions help you resolve the issue and start receiving incoming calls again!
