Messages deliver, but calls dont go through

I'm wondering whats going on? My messages deliver, and I can see their focus status every night with it showing me they have notifications silenced. However, my calls never go though. Always straight to voicemail. When I call with other numbers, it doesn't go to voicemail. So am I blocked? Or do my messages go through?

You are not blocked; your messages are going through, but your phone calls are hitting their active Focus mode (like Sleep or Do Not Disturb).

Can you phone anyone at all? Or just can't get to one person?


Calls use cellular but messages to other iphone users use wifi.
