Straight to voicemail, no ring, spinning circle under call forward setting.

I have an iPhone XR that operates normally except that it won't receive phone calls. I can make calls with no problems, but when someone calls me the caller hears a ring several times and then goes to voicemail. I don't get a ring, missed-call notification or a missed call on my call history. I just get a voicemail notification a few minutes later. I've tried looking at my settings and everything seems in order (they were imported from my previous iPhone) with one exception: When I click on the "call forwarding" setting I just get a spinning circle so I can't see what that setting is or change it. I've reset the phone several times and that hasn't helped anything. Any suggestions?


BTW, spent over 10 hours with Boost mobile and 2 hours with Apple this morning trying to fix this. So frustrating. Been unable to fully use my phone as a "phone" for 6 weeks now.

iPhone XR, iOS 13

Hi jameswg123,


We understand that you're unable to receive calls because they go directly to voicemail, and we want to help out.


Does this happen with all calls, or only calls from certain contacts? Do you have any call blocking enabled? You can check by going to Settings > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification.


It sounds like you've already done some troubleshooting. Just to make sure we cover all the bases, please check out the following article, and make sure all of the steps listed there have been completed:
