Unblocking Voicemail Callers
Resurrecting a question that does not seem adequately answered. How do I unblock callers sent directly to Voicemail when they call, and who are listed in Voicemail settings as Blocked? TIA.

Hey Chickadee63,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
When a contact is blocked in Settings > Phone > Blocked Contacts, the calls will go to voicemail. If you no longer want the contact blocked, go to Settings > Phone > Blocked Contacts. You can unblock the contact there. After they are unblocked, you will receive calls from them.
Also, if Silence Unknown Callers is enabled, numbers that are not saved in your contacts will go to voicemail. If you do not want those numbers to go straight to voicemail, you would need to turn off Silence Unknown Callers in Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers.
For more information about this, review this article: Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone or iPad.
Take care.
