So my spouses iPhone has stopped receiving calls, and is seems that when she calls folks, it goes straight to voicemail. So naturally, I joined Apple's community Matrix channel and their devs helped to fix the problem.

No wait sorry, that's what I do with @purism when my #librem5 has issues (which for the record, it makes and receives calls/SMS/MMS just fine).

What will likely happen is a perfectly good phone goes in the trash because of some software bug.

@kop316 @purism I totally agree with the sentiment, but I find it really weird to throw away good hardware. I would either try to get it fixed, or at least sell it. Perhaps someone wants it for jailbreaking, for parts, or just as a toy for kids to play games on.

BTW the first result for "iphone all calls go to voicemail" lists multiple possible causes. For example, outdated carrier settings. wikihow.com/IPhone-Goes-Straig

The problem might also be on the carrier side, so you can try calling them.

@elgregor @purism

If I could, I *would* get it fixed. I really don't want to spend money on a new phone just because of a software bug.

The suggested fixes on that site (any many others) are L1 issues that would have been immediately apparent when I originally troubleshooted. I also intend on trying the carrier/Apple support route, but likely their fix is: a) get a new SIM card or b) get a new phone.
