    Phones use a phone system to route phone calls to the appropriate person. This system is usually based on the person’s phone number. If the person’s phone number is registered with the phone system, the call will be routed to the person’s voicemail. If the person’s phone number is not registered with the phone system, the call will be routed to the person’s voice mailbox.

    You should know this

    Most people who have a landline phone assume that calls go straight to the person on the other end of the line. However, this is not always the case.

    If you have a voicemail box on your phone, and you have a landline, then your phone will automatically send all calls to your voicemail box. This is because most people still use voicemail boxes as their primary method of communication, even though they have a phone that can actually make calls.

    If you don’t have a voicemail box, then your phone will try to connect you to the person who called. If the person called from a phone that doesn’t have voicemail, then the call will go straight to their voicemail.

    if this is the case try calling them again later when they are not busy

    If you are trying to call someone and they are not picking up, and the phone just goes straight to voicemail, it may be because the person is talking to someone else or their phone is off.

If this is the case, try calling them again later when they are not busy. If the one-ring and straight-to-voicemail pattern persists, it may be a sign that the person’s phone is blocked and you will not be able to reach them.

    Hi this is Sarah. I was wondering if I could talk to my dad for a second. It’s just that I’m really busy right now and I don’t have time to call him. I’ll call him back soon. Bye.

    If the person’s phone is off, or if he or she is already on a call, you’ll go directly to voicemail. If the person’s phone is blocked, you’ll get one ring, then go right to voicemail. You’re free to leave a voicemail, although it won’t go directly to the recipient’s inbox.

    What Does a Blocked Caller Hear

    When someone calls you from a blocked number, you may not hear any ringing. The other person’s phone may stay silent, or you may only hear one ring. You’ll then be told that the caller cannot reach the recipient, and will be diverted to voicemail. Blocked calls can really be frustrating, because you can’t communicate with the person you want to talk to. If you’re ever contacted by a blocked caller, politely ignore them and voicemail them if necessary.

    In summary

    The most common reason phone calls go straight to voicemail is because the person’s phone number is not registered with the phone system. If someone’s number is not registered, the call will be routed to their voice mailbox.
