Straight to voicemail

I recently inherited an iPhone 14 but I can’t get incoming calls because it goes straight to voicemail. Could someone please help me.

iPhone 13, iOS 17

Many reason why that would happen. Did you set up this inherited phone as new?

  • Account is incorrect with carrier
  • Airplane Mode is on
  • Do Not Disturb is on
  • Phone number is in blocked list
  • Silence Unknown callers is turned on


Depending on your circumstances. The tips to resolve the problem could also include:

  • Verify account with carrier
  • Reset device to factory settings
