My phone is going straight to voice mail

ekb — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 09:44:53 GMT

I have two mobile phones - work and personal - both with THREE. When i call my personal phone from my work phone, it gets through but when i call my work phone from my personal phone it goes straight to voicemail. I only did the test because i kept getting missed call messages on my work phone - but it had never rung.
I have checked the settings, the mute, the volume, the bluetooth etc etc. But they are all set correctly.
Any ideas.
Work phone is an Iphone16 and home phone is a Iphone 15 Pro.
Baffled and annoyed!!

Hi there @ekb,

That is unusual! I understand you said you've already checked settings, but just wanted to check the following:

Have settings related to silencing Unknown Callers and Call Forwarding been checked to ensure calls aren't being diverted? Is Wi-Fi calling being used or is this turned off?

Please also try to reset your network settings. You can do this through the following steps:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Please note that this will delete all your saved Wi-Fi passwords, and Bluetooth connections, so you will need to re-enter passwords and re-pair any devices afterward.

If this doesn't rectify things and the settings all appear correct, please have a chat with Customer Services, and they'll check your account to investigate further with you.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi @ekb,

Did you manage to find a solution in the meantime since posting? Michael has provided a few suggestions, and I've found a handy page on Apple's website which details settings which may be causing the call to be screened: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iphe4b3f7823/ios

Let us know if these help!

Thanks,
