Unwanted calls going straight to voicemail on iPhone

I am getting calls going straight to voicemail that I never even get a chance to block! How is this happening?? I read that iPhone is auto blocking calls but how do I block this feature? I never turned on this feature but I keep getting unwanted text spam that I do want to block but I found out Apple won’t do anything but take your info that you report. No help there!

Thanks for this info but it didn’t seem to happen this morning with a certain entity that claimed they went straight to voicemail Everytime they called. When I looked at my missed calls from them they’d called 4 times in the space of less than a minute. I think that’s why they were sent to voicemail. This morning the same number got through because I believe she manually called me instead of using a call bot. But…I went to my setting and turned off the silence unknown caller option. We shall see…thx agsin!!
