When a phone goes straight to voicemail without ringing, it might indicate several things: the phone is turned off, the battery is dead, the do not disturb mode is active, or the phone is out of service area. Additionally, the recipient might have blocked your number. To troubleshoot, confirm the phone's status or try contacting the person through alternative means, like a text message or email, to ensure that you are not inadvertently blocked.
