Hello Jmclaughlin53,

Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. You may have the feature called, "Silence Unknown Callers" turned on. You can temporarily turn it off and see if you can answer the incoming calls. To locate this feature on your iPhone, you can go to Settings > Phone.

Best regards.
