Iphone first call always goes to voicemail

That's frustrating! There could be several reasons why your iPhone is always going straight to voicemail when you make a call. Let's troubleshoot together to resolve the issue:

  1. Check your iPhone's settings:
    • Ensure that your iPhone's Do Not Disturb mode is turned off. Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb and toggle it off.
    • Check if your iPhone's Silent Mode is enabled. Go to Settings > Sounds and toggle off Silent Mode.
  2. Verify your phone's network settings:
    • Ensure that your iPhone is connected to a reliable cellular network or Wi-Fi. Go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) and check your signal strength.
    • Restart your iPhone to refresh your network connection.
  3. Check your voicemail settings:
    • Go to Settings > Phone > Voicemail and ensure that your voicemail is set up correctly. You can also try resetting your voicemail password.
  4. Check for any software issues:
    • Restart your iPhone to see if it resolves the issue.
    • Check for any software updates and install them if available.
    • Try resetting your iPhone's network settings by going to Settings > General > Reset and selecting "Reset network settings."
  5. Check for any physical issues:
    • Ensure that your iPhone's SIM card is properly inserted and not damaged.
    • Check for any physical damage to your iPhone's microphone or speaker.
  6. Check your carrier's settings:
    • Contact your carrier's customer support to see if there are any outages or issues in your area that could be causing the problem.
    • Ask your carrier to check if there are any issues with your account or phone number that could be causing the issue.
  7. Reset your iPhone's phone settings:
    • Go to Settings > General > Reset and select "Reset all settings." This will reset your iPhone's phone settings to their default values.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may want to visit an Apple Store or contact Apple Support for further assistance.
