Hello werner227,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
We understand from your question that you are not getting notified or voicemails when an unknown caller calls you. We can certainly help you with this!
Some carriers have a service which blocks calls/notifications from unknown callers and telemarketers. We would recommend reaching out to your carrier to see about the options for these services they might offer.
We hope this is able to resolve your issue. If you have any more questions or this does not resolve your issue, please reach back out on the thread!
Cheers.

Yes, but that would defeat the purpose... I do not wish that my phone rings when an unknown caller or a blocked (junk calls) callers contacts me. I only want to be notified when an unknown called leaves a voicemail message. Case in point, if somebody calls me from a payphone or an iPhone other that his own and need to get in touch with me, I just wish that my phone would ring (I would select a different ringtone than my normal ringtone for actual voice calls) to differentiate the voicemail alert to me.
That is not currently an option. You can let Apple know it's something you'd like to see here:
If you have Settings>Phone>Silence Unknown Callers enabled, you will not get any notifications if they leave a voice mail. Turn that setting off.
