I am not receiving iPhone calls or voicemails from a known caller known caller tries to call my number, leaves voicemail. My phone does not ring, the call is not listed in my recent calls, and voicemail does not show up in my voicemail notifications. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iPhone mysteriously not ringing so whoever suggested go to call blocking and identification, THANK YOU !! I believe that’s !!! the answer to why some calls are silenced. Those settings all have to be unchecked / off. I had them on and I never realized it so in my case VERIZON decides that some calls are SPAM and you won’t hear a ring, but they will accept the message and you will see it in your voicemail and it will be in recent calls Also It’s pretty unusual. I never knew anything about it and I never checked that setting, but I think that’s the answer to silenced calls

The red or orange dot means the phone’s microphone is on, which is actually necessary if you expect the person you are calling to hear you. See→About the orange and green indicators in your iPhone status bar - Apple Support

It’s normally orange, but will appear red to provide contrast to the background color.
