How To Unblock Voicemail On iPhone

Are you trying to unblock voicemail on your iPhone? Is someone unable to leave you voicemails? In this quick-and-easy guide, I will tell you all you need to know about unblocking voicemail on your iPhone. Let’s get into it!

Unblock the Caller in iOS

To unblock someone and allow them to leave you voicemails again, you need to unblock the caller on your iPhone. To do that, navigate to Settings > Phone > Blocked Contacts and find the contact you wish to unblock. Then, swipe left on them and click on “Unblock.” This will unblock them and allow them to call you and leave voicemails again.

How to Set Up and Enable Voicemail on Your iPhone

If you want people to leave you voicemails, you should set up voicemail on your phone so people can leave voicemails. Tap on Voicemail in the Phone app. Click on “Set Up Now” and enter a password and record a voice greeting. You can also use a default voicemail greeting.

Some carriers in some regions support Visual Voicemail. This allows you to view your voicemails and listen to selected ones in the Phone app without dialing your voicemail number.

If you set up call forwarding using a different carrier-supported method, contact your carrier to turn it off, as the process will vary depending on your carrier.

Turn Off Call-Silencing & Filters

Another thing to consider is turning off call silencing or filters that are preventing calls from certain people from coming through. You can turn off Do Not Disturb from the Control Center or by navigating to Settings > Focus > Do Not Disturb. By going to your Focus settings, you can also remove filters that prevent notifications from calls from certain people from coming through.
