Why Is My Phone Auto Rejecting Calls?

Hey everyone, I’m reaching out because I’m having a pretty annoying issue with my phone. Lately, I’ve noticed that it’s been automatically rejecting incoming calls, and I can’t figure out why this is happening. It’s super frustrating, especially when I’m expecting important calls.

Possible Reasons for Call Rejection

I’ve done a bit of exploring on my settings, and here are a few things that might be causing the issue:

  • Do Not Disturb: I checked my Do Not Disturb settings to ensure it’s turned off. I’ve accidentally left it on before, but it’s currently disabled.
  • Call Blocking: I also looked at my blocked numbers list, but there’s nothing there that should be causing calls to be rejected.
  • Airplane Mode: I made sure that Airplane Mode isn’t accidentally turned on, which could block all incoming calls.
  • Software Glitch: It could also be a random software issue. I thought about updating my phone to see if that fixes the problem.

What I’ve Tried So Far

  1. Restarted my phone – sometimes that helps, right?
  2. Checked for updates – made sure my phone’s software is up-to-date.
  3. Reset network settings – this was a little tricky, but I followed the steps to reset everything.
  4. Looked at third-party apps – there could be an app that’s interfering with call reception.

A Cry for Help!

If anyone has dealt with something similar or has any ideas that I might have missed, I’d really appreciate your help! Are there settings or features that I should check? Or maybe any troubleshooting steps that might work?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer! This issue has really been a headache, and I’m hoping to get it sorted out soon so I can receive calls normally again!

Have you checked your ‘Do Not Disturb’ settings? Sometimes, missed calls can be because that feature is enabled. Turning it off might help!

Also, make sure none of your call-blocking features are activated. I accidentally blocked some important contacts once!

Exactly what happened to me, and it took a while to figure it out. Double-check your blocked numbers list!

I had similar issues. In my case, it was an old setting causing the problem. Resetting my network settings fixed it.

Hmm, that’s interesting. How do you reset those settings without losing anything important?

You can usually find the reset options in your phone’s settings menu. Just be sure to back up any data you want to keep!

OMG, I had this happen last week! You’d think my phone was trying to ghost me. Definitely check your settings!

Haha, I feel you! I was convinced my friends were mad at me when it started happening.

And if you’re still having issues, you might want to consider contacting your carrier. They can help with any network-related problems too.

Check for any software updates too. Sometimes, bugs are fixed in new releases, and it can clear up issues like this.

Great point! I’ll definitely make sure everything is updated.

I’ve had similar issues. Sometimes it’s related to network outages in your area. Check your carrier’s website for any reported problems!

That’s a great point! Also, make sure your mobile data is on. I’ve noticed it can mess with call connectivity.

Could be a carrier setting issue too. I once had my settings reset, and it solved an auto-reject problem for me.

Resetting settings sounds like a good plan! Anyone know how to do that?

You can usually reset your network settings in the settings app under ‘General.’ Just remember it will remove saved Wi-Fi passwords.
