iPhone XR won't respond to prompts when calling businesses

My iPhone XR will not follow prompts when I call businesses that have answering services with prompts to follow to get you to a certain places. I push the appropriate number and it doesn't work. Help! This is aggravating because in this day and age, almost places are going to these answering services. I have tried things mentioned in other threads but none worked. HELP!

iPhone XR, iOS 13

If the issue continues there, try this:


When in a call and noticing this issue, try swiping up to enter your App Switcher. This article shows how:
