How to send calls straight to Voicemail without blocking?

if you have somebody in your phone as a contact and you have it set up to where they go straight to the voicemail does it ring does it notify you? Is that a good way of blocking a person without blocking them so nobody knows that they’re calling or texting. And can you still get text messages or do you just need to block them for no contact at all?

Phone goes straight to voicemail


iPhone calls are going straight to voicemail—swipe down from the top-right corner of your phone and make sure Do Not Disturb is off, Focus allows calls, and the Airplane mode icon is gray.



No insight or resolve—

Open Settings, tap Phone, tap Silence Unknown Callers, then toggle it off
