IPhone blocking calls!! for about the last 3 weeks, my iPhone will no longer allow me to receive texts or calls from number that are not in my contacts. It doesn’t ring, then it indicates I have a voicemail from an unknown number, and won’t let me access that either, unless I add the number to my contacts? I’ve googled and looked through my settings and there is nothing obvious. I used to be able to receive all calls and choose to block individual numbers but I can’t do that anymore. I’ve missed 3 really important calls as they weren’t in my contacts and it’s driving me mad!!! Any ideas welcome, thank you 🙃

Blocked Calls On Iphone 13 Pro Max I am getting unkown (not in my contacts) calls blocked...important calls. These numbers are not on my blocked call list, & I have turned off the "silence unknown callers" setting. These missed calls are only sometimes sent to voicemail. I have even created a contact for these numbers & they are still being blocked. Any help is appreciated!

Hey there,

Go to Settings > phone > Silence Unknown Callers - turn it off.
