Missing calls on your iPhone? Or finding that your iPhone calls go directly to voicemail, and don't know why? You're not alone.
In this article we discuss some simple issues that may be causing calls to be diverted, and explain how to fix them. Read next: How to manage voicemail on iPhone
Check for iOS updates This is a double-edged sword. It's possible that a recent update to iOS has caused the problem (but if so, it should be patched soon); it's also possible that an update will fix it.
When Apple updates iOS it's inevitable that some things will go wrong. Most of these should be picked up in the beta. but a few will slip through to be patched at a later date.
When iOS 7 came out back in 2013, for example, some iPhones suddenly found that incoming calls were being directly transferred to voicemail. The option has since been disabled by default.
If you've noticed the voicemail problem since updating iOS, there's a good chance that the two things are related. Check for any new updates since then, which are likely to include a patch. Read more:
Do Not Disturb mode If the problem persists, Do Not Disturb mode may be the issue. Perhaps you turned it on by mistake, or turned it on and then forgotten about it. It may even have been switched on against your wishes by a glitch in iOS.
You can tell quite easily if you've got Do Not Disturb switched on, because there will be a crescent moon icon in the top right of the iPhone's status bar, next to the Bluetooth and battery icons.
When Do Not Disturb is enabled, calls and alerts that arrive are silenced: that's the reason your calls are being diverted before you have a chance to answer them.
The quickest way to turn off Do Not Disturb is via the Control Centre. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring this up.

The Do Not Disturb icon is in the top row: it's the crescent moon. Tap this and it will turn from purple (switched on) to grey (switched off).
In iOS 11, which at time of writing is available in beta and comes out officially in autumn 2017, Control Centre looks a bit different, and the precise controls shown are customisable - but you'll always see the Do Not Disturb toggle. It's the same as before: a crescent moon.
Alternatively (although more slowly), you can turn it off via the Settings app. Open the Settings app and in the second batch of options underneath Notifications and Control Centre, you'll see a purple icon with that crescent moon and the words Do Not Disturb.
Click on that. Move the slider on Manual so that it's off - so there's no green on the slider.
How do I stop my iPhone going to voicemail after just three rings? This is a slightly different problem. Your voicemail isn't controlled by the iPhone itself, but by your network provider, and you have to adjust these settings by dialling your network and using a phone option.
First of all, check there isn't something weird going on with your network settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset Network Settings, then enter your passcode. This will ensure that you have the right settings for your network.
Whether you can change the length of time that the phone rings before going to voicemail depends on the network provider. Some, like Vodafone, enable you to change this using their automated system. Others require you to call up, or the amount is fixed.

Vodafone

Vodafone enables you to choose the length of time a phone rings before going to voicemail. According to the Vodafone instructions:

• Enter **61*121*11*[Number of seconds]#

Then enter the number of seconds you'd like your phone to ring for (it has to be between 5 and 30 and a multiple of 5), followed by #.
For example, if you want to set if for 25 seconds, you'd enter **61*121*11*25#, then press call.
Vodafone will send you a text letting you know if this has worked.

Three

To adjust voicemail settings (including turning voicemail on or off) you need to call three on 333.
To turn off VoiceMail on the Three network, dial "333" and tap the "Keypad" in the Phone app. Press the the following buttons

• 2
• 1
• 2
• 3
• 1
• 1

You should get a text from Three stating that you have successfully turned off voicemail. To turn it on again go through the steps but change the last entry to "2"

O2

O2 has a direct line to turning voicemail on and off. Just dial the following numbers direct from your phone.

• Turn voicemail off: 1210
• Turn voicemail on: 1750

The CS5111 isn't an answering machine. Please consult the documentation for whatever answering machine or voicemail system you have connected to your phone line.

If you need further assistance, feel free to repost your question but please be sure to specify the answering machine or voicemail system in question.

Call your voicemail. Put in your password. Then wait until it says "main menu" or something similar. If it gives an option to record a new voicemail greeting choose that option. If not, you may want to check with your provider.

It sounds like all the incoming calls are going to a hunt group. This would explain why three extensions ring, then it goes to the receptionist, and then ends up in voicemail.

Try looking for a hunt group that distributes to the three extensions in question, or that only has those 3 extensions active.

Aftre checking twice to ensure I truly had no remaining phone/text/etc. messages (i.e. not initially trusting the "you have no voicemail" lady), I still had the blinking Voicemail Icon on my Verizon (Casio) GzOne Boulder. I turned it off and on, and it simply went away. Reboots triumph again. Since most of us leave our phones on 24/7, betting many don't try a repower/reboot. This is also way less risky than having some new Tech Support person mess with your account ("remove voicemail and put it back on", per the above comment). Until they have less buggy software/firmware, simply reboot.

If the voicemail you want to use is Verizons, it will NOT light the light on your phone.

For that to happen, you would need a voicemail through the phone system

Go to the setting and put voicemail alert from off to on.
