@ninggy -- at the time of that incoming call, did your mobile phone show that you were connected to "Shaw" or to "Nationwide" ?

At the time of that incoming call, were you using the phone to talk to somebody else?

do you have an iphone?  There is a setting to send unknown callers to voicemail:

 

  • Open Settings on your iPhone.
  • Tap Phone.
  • Scroll down to “Silence Unknown Callers.”
  • Toggle the button to off

I am having the same problem and it is getting worse. About 20% of my calls are now going straight to voice mail. I am at home and connected to Shaw. Most of the calls going to voice mail are in my phone book. I even called my mobile from my home phone with the same result.

It showed Nationwide, and was in roaming mode, as if I was calling long distanced. It also jumps from Shaw to Nationwide and back on it's own.

How many "rings" before going to voice-mail?

If your mobile was powered-on, and you tried calling it, how many "rings" ?

Your systems are an indication that your cell-phone is not correctly configured to connect to Shaw Mobile.

@Mok10 -- It also jumps from Shaw to Nationwide and back 

Yes, that is one advertised feature with Shaw Mobile. Shaw does not have enough cell-phone towers, and so they have an arrangement for free "roaming" on the other companies' cell-phone towers -- Rogers, Telus/Bell.

Note that "roaming mode" is not "long-distance".  At the BC Ferry dock at Fulford Harbour, there is cell-service, via the Telus tower. Go about 1.5 Km to the head of Fulford Harbour, and you are "out-of-range" of that Telus tower, due to the location of the tower, relative to the hilly landscape.
