How to Unblock Incoming Calls on Your Android Phone

Are you tired of missing important calls because they go straight to voicemail? If so, this article will guide you through the steps to unblock incoming calls on your Android phone.

Call forwarding is a useful feature that allows you to redirect your incoming calls to a specific number. However, sometimes it can be frustrating if all incoming calls go to voicemail without alerting you first. To avoid this, you need to ensure that the Do Not Disturb mode is disabled on your phone.

To disable the Do Not Disturb mode, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app and tap on Notifications.

2. Select Do not disturb from the following menu.

3. Toggle off the switch next to Do not disturb.

If you have accidentally added a contact to the block list, you may need to remove it to receive calls from that contact again. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the Phone app and tap on Block numbers.

2. Tap the minus icon next to the number or contact to unblock it.

Another reason why incoming calls may go straight to voicemail is if your Android only sends calls from a specific contact to voicemail. This can happen if you have accidentally added the contact to the block list. To check whether this is the case, follow these steps:

1. Open the Phone app and tap on Block numbers.

2. Tap the menu icon at the top-right corner and select Settings.

3. Disable the toggle next to ‘Block calls from unknown numbers.’

4. Check if your contact is in the block list and remove it if necessary.

If you are still experiencing issues with incoming calls going straight to voicemail, try turning off the Airplane Mode on your phone. This can help refresh your phone's cellular network connection and resolve minor network-related problems.

To turn off Airplane Mode, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app and tap on Connections.

2. Toggle off the switch next to Airplane mode.

Wait for a few minutes and then turn it back on to see if this resolves the issue.

In some cases, temporary network issues or faulty SIM cards may also cause incoming calls to go straight to voicemail. To resolve these issues, you can try restarting your phone or replacing your SIM card.

Finally, remember that setting up voicemail is typically one of the first tasks you'll complete after switching to a new phone or carrier. Voicemail allows callers to leave a message when you are not available, which can be useful in many situations.

By following these steps and troubleshooting tips, you should be able to unblock incoming calls on your Android phone and receive important calls without them going straight to voicemail.
