Incoming calls go straight to voicemail

I've been having problems receiving calls on my iPhone 3G. Nine out of 10 times, incoming calls go to voicemail even though the phone is on. It happens whether it is active or in sleep mode. Making outgoing calls is no problem. I get a very strong signal where I test it - at full bar.

I did some googling around and noticed that a lot of people had the same problem with the 1st-gen iPhones with EDGE, but 3G should be able to handle data and phone simultaneously. Besides, I have Wi-Fi enabled here so that should not even be an issue.

Has anyone had the same problem? This is very annoying. 😟

Thanks,
Dai

Oh, apologies. That's not the way I'd read it, especially the original poster. Yes, you're right, mine just doesn't ring and goes to voicemail.

Mark A. tier 2 support.

He will add at this point its only relevant to my case because they still fail to admit that any of our cases are linked!!!

But he basically said he wouldnt be able to help me any further until 3.0 comes out - and even then that might not fix it
