iPhone Xr calls go directly to voicemail after update

Last night, my iPhone Xr updated to system 18.7.8. Since then, it has not allowed any calls to come through. They all go to voicemail. I looked up ways to solve the problem, I even went through all recommendations here: If your call fails or you can’t receive calls on your iPhone - Apple Support


Anyone have any new ideas that I could try to get my calls to come directly to me?

iPhone XR, iOS 18

If this happens to you, ask Siri to turn off Do Not Disturb. You see, even though you have it off, it isn't off, and the only way I could figure out how to make sure it was off was for Siri to do it for me. Phone is fine now... YAY


Why the new system would have set it up that way makes no sense to me!
