House phone won’t ring landline goes straight to voicemail can’t get ahold of help to fix one week now

I need to speak with an agent or representative my house phone has not been working for a week now and I couldn’t get someone to talk to last weekend about my landline house phone not working. It goes straight to voicemail when someone calls and won’t ring. I’m very upset

Hi! I can absolutely understand your frustration, especially after being without a working home phone for a week and not being able to reach someone for help last weekend. I’m sorry you’ve had to go through this. We’re here to help and would like to investigate why your phone isn’t ringing and calls are going directly to voicemail. Are you hearing a dial tone at all when you pick up the phone? If your Xfinity Voice line goes straight to voicemail and doesn’t ring, here are some possible causes and fixes:

- Call Waiting temporarily canceled: Call Waiting can be disabled so incoming calls go directly to voicemail; it’s restored when you next pick up. To re-enable, pick up the phone or cancel the temporary cancelation.

- Spam Blocker settings: High-risk calls are blocked, medium-risk sent to voicemail, and low-risk may be filtered by an audio CAPTCHA; check and adjust Spam Blocker settings in your account.

- Line not fully disconnected: If a prior call (including voicemail or IVR) wasn’t hung up fully, the line may remain busy and route new calls to voicemail; hang up completely to clear.
