Call Answered by Another Device

I don't have an iPad or Mac, yet my phone still keeps saying (non-contact) calls are being answered by another device. My carrier confirms I don't have call forwarding on my line, and FaceTime is turned off. What's going on?!?

"Answered on other device" Hello, I've seen others post about this issue but no resolution so I am bringing it up again: I've been unable to receive calls on my IPhone. I will see the incoming call, then the call will disappear. When I check my call log the call shows as answered with the text: "Answered on other device". The person calling me gets a "You've reached a person whose voicemail box has not been set up yet" then the call hangs up. I've disconnected all devices from my ICloud and this still happens. I've checked call forwarding and it is off. I've tried to reset my network settings and reset my IPhone and no luck. I took my phone to my carrier and they said this is an Apple issue. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Incoming international calls not ringing Sometimes I get international calls from a known caller (not blocked or silenced) and the phone doesn't ring and there is no missed call registered. These are facetime calls and the same goes for my linked ipad. Any ideas?

To turn off Allow Calls on Other Devices on an iPhone, open the Settings app and go to Phone > Calls on Other Devices, then toggle off Allow Calls on Other Devices.
