Why are my calls going straight to voicemail android

Frustrating! There are several reasons why your calls might be going straight to voicemail on your Android device. Let's troubleshoot together:

  1. Do Not Disturb mode: Check if Do Not Disturb mode is enabled on your device. This feature can silence notifications, including incoming calls. To check, go to Settings > Sounds > Do Not Disturb.
  2. Silent mode: Ensure that Silent mode is not enabled. You can check this by looking for the ringtone icon on your lock screen or notification shade. If it's muted, you'll see a red circle with a line through it.
  3. Call forwarding: Check if call forwarding is enabled on your device or carrier. This feature can forward calls to another number or voicemail. To check, go to Settings > Call settings > Call forwarding.
  4. Carrier settings: Contact your carrier to ensure that there are no issues with their network or settings that might be causing calls to go straight to voicemail.
  5. App interference: Some apps might be interfering with your calls. Try closing any apps that you're not using or that might be running in the background.
  6. Phone settings: Check your phone's settings to ensure that the "Answering mode" is set to "Answer" instead of "Send to voicemail." To do this, go to Settings > Call settings > Answering mode.
  7. Voicemail settings: Check your voicemail settings to ensure that they're not set to automatically send calls to voicemail. To do this, go to Settings > Call settings > Voicemail settings.
  8. SIM card issues: If you're using a SIM card, try removing and reinserting it to ensure that it's properly seated.
  9. Device software issues: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there's a software issue with your device. Try restarting your device or performing a factory reset.
  10. Carrier-specific issues: If you're experiencing issues with a specific carrier, try contacting their customer support to see if there are any known issues or outages in your area.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, please provide more details about your device, carrier, and the exact behavior you're experiencing, and I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot further!
