Phone Call directly going to Voicemail instead of ringing in iPhone

Sometimes when we need a break we would have redirected our calls directly to the voice mails. If you are sure you will not have a network, you would like to redirect important calls to voice call so that once you are free, you can get back to them. If you are facing a strange problem that calls go directly to voice mail instead of bringing there might be multiple reasons for it. The common thing which you need to check is the mobile network. If the signal is weak then you need to move to an area where the network is strong. Check your Sim card if it is blocked or not. One of the things that need to be checked is the DND mode. Let us see in the article how to fix this problem with different solutions.
