some incoming iPhone calls do not notify me even though I do not have do not disturb enabled

Frequently I am waiting for a call and my phone never rings or notifies me that the call is incoming. I only discover I missed the call when I look at Recent calls and see a number in red. Frustrating. No, "Do Not Disturb" is not enabled. This doesn't happen on all incoming calls, just a few, mostly numbers that are not in my directory. Would it help if I restored my iPhone back to default?

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Probably you have turned on Silence Unknown Callers, in Settings > Phone, then scroll down, tap Silence Unknown Callers, and turned on the feature. Calls from unknown numbers are silenced and sent to your voicemail, and appear in your recent calls list.
