What is what does it mean your call has been forwarded to voicemail?

Your call has been forwarded to voicemail typically means the person you are calling is unable to answer their phone at this time. Here's a breakdown:

• Unanswered Call: The most straightforward reason is that the person simply didn't answer the phone before it stopped ringing and automatically forwarded to their voicemail system.

• Busy Signal/Unavailable: If the person is already on another call, or their phone is in a state where it can't receive new calls (e.g., airplane mode, no service), the call might be immediately forwarded to voicemail. See the related concept: busy%20signal.

• Call Forwarding Enabled: The person may have manually set up call%20forwarding to send all incoming calls directly to voicemail. This could be because they're in a meeting, on vacation, or otherwise unavailable.

• Do Not Disturb (DND) Mode: Activating do%20not%20disturb mode on a phone often sends calls straight to voicemail.

• Conditional Call Forwarding: In some cases, the phone might be set up to forward calls to voicemail based on certain conditions, like if the person doesn't answer within a specific number of rings.
