When calling someone who has their phone set to Do Not Disturb (DND), the call will not ring and will typically go to voicemail. However, exceptions may exist if you are listed as a favorites contact or if the DND settings allow repeated calls to pass through within a short period. Always consider the recipient’s preferences and settings.
