home phone goes straight to VM

Also see post about email not connecting. Home phone goes straight to voice mail. Outgoing calls work, but incoming do not.

If your home phone goes straight to voicemail without ringing, it usually means that call forwarding is activated on your phone line; this setting automatically redirects all incoming calls to your voicemail instead of ringing your phone first. 

Other possible reasons include:
  • Low ringer volume: Check if your phone's ringer volume is turned down too low.
  • Faulty phone connection: Ensure the phone is properly plugged in and the cord isn't damaged.

@XfinityAdrienne​ I've tried all of these remedies and spent an hour with X Rep and they cannot fix the problem  It's not call forwarding as i checked each step of that, not my home phone as I disconnected it and plugged a new phone up, rebooted the gateway 4 time by removing power cord.  I've read many forums and this seems to be a widespread problem, and today, X is not answering their phone...!

Our land line keeps going to voicemail.

We have bought new phones and new batteries and it’s still an issue.

Customer service doesn’t help either.

Any suggestions?
