iPhone randomly blocks numbers

My phone recently started blocking random numbers of folks not on my contact list. How do I stop this from happening?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 13

Hello, SaraVD.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you're noticing calls from numbers not saved in your contacts list are being blocked.


Are the numbers appearing in your list of Blocked Contacts in either Settings > Phone or Settings > Messages?


If the numbers don't appear in those lists, but are going straight to Voicemail, check to see if you have Silence Unknown callers enabled:

I hope this helps! Take care.
