Everyone gets those.

Website rederacts .. restrictions on my wifi ect

That tends to indicate you installed adware.

Try using EtreCheck to find and help you remove it.

It is free to use for that purpose. You don’t need to purchase anything.

Mis-routed calls and voicemail and texts aren’t unusual, but you will want to elaborate on those Wi-Fi restrictions you are reporting, and what you have already done about that. Router firmware updated to current? Router passwords reset? Other steps?

If you have add-on security apps, or an add-on VPN client app, or installed Safari extensions installed, remove all those, restart the iPhone, and test again.

Barney-15E: EtreCheck isn’t going to work on an iPhone.

Work thru this guide.

Personal Safety User Guide – Apple Support (AU)

It has 3x good “checklists” at the end.

If it’s being done correctly, you cannot.

Tracking now is much more effective, pernicious, and ubiquitous than it was back when cookies were the primary concern. With or without cookies enabled.

The widely-hyped add-on VPN client apps are invaluable tools for tracking users around the ‘net, too.

Usually you would assume you're not unless you had specific evidence.
