- If Do Not Disturb is off, make sure the numbers you cant receive calls from aren’t blocked by checking your block list in Settings > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification.
- If your Do not Disturb is already off and there are no numbers in your Block list, the next step is to Reset your network settings
- Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
