Answer

If you see the TTS call arrive but have not heard it ringing, you may have a setting on your device to silence the sender as Unknown Callers. Here is an example of unblocking the caller for iOS and Android phones. 

  • iOS: Go to Settings > Phone, scroll down, tap Silence Unknown Callers, and turn off the feature.iPhone-Silence-Unknown-Callers-Enable.jpeg
  • Android: Settings vary depending on handset manufacture or telecommunication carriers, but you can refer to the general function details here.
