  • In some cases, incoming calls may go straight to voicemail without ringing.


    Here are 4 possible reasons and troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue:



    1. Check "Do Not Disturb" Mode


    If "Do Not Disturb" mode is turned on, incoming calls will not ring, will go straight to voicemail, and will only show as missed calls in your call log.


    → Go to "Settings" → "Focus" → turn off "Do Not Disturb".



    2. Check Your Speaker


    A speaker issue may prevent incoming call ringtones from sounding.


    → Open "Voice Memos" → tap the red button to record your voice → tap the play button to listen. If you hear no sound even after adjusting the volume, your speaker may be malfunctioning.



    3. Network Signal


    If your phone rings sometimes but not always, it may be due to signal conditions.

    In areas with poor reception, incoming calls will not ring and will automatically go straight to voicemail, leaving only a missed call notification.


    → Try moving to a different spot or turning off Wi-Fi.



    4. Reset Network Settings


    Resetting your iPhone's network settings may help resolve the issue.


    → Go to "Settings" → "General" → "Transfer or Reset iPhone" → "Reset" → "Reset Network Settings"

    *Please note that resetting network settings will clear your saved Wi-Fi connections and passwords.



    If the issue persists after trying the steps above, please contact Customer Support with your iPhone's 15-digit IMEI number, city name, and ZIP code.

    Contact Information

    Email:  customer@universalmobile.us 

    Important: Fees and return rules vary depending on whether you request an extension in advance or return the device late without prior notice.

    If you request an extension in advance

    If you contact customer support before your scheduled return date and receive approval, your request will be processed as a standard rental extension. The extension fee is calculated based on the regular daily rate for your destination multiplied by the number of extended days. If you have selected any optional services, such as Safety Compensation Coverage ($2.00/day), the applicable daily fee will also be charged for each extended day.

    Example 1

    Extending 5 days in the United States ($7.50/day) with Safety Compensation Coverage.

    Extension fee ⇒ $7.50 × 5 days = $37.50

    Safety Compensation ⇒ $2.00 × 5 days = $10.00

    Total ⇒ $47.50

    Example 2

    Extending 3 days in Japan ($6.00/day) without Safety Compensation Coverage.

    Extension fee ⇒ $6.00 × 3 days = $18.00

    If you do not contact us in advance to request an extension

    If the device is not returned by the due date and no prior notice is provided, the following schedule and policies will apply.

    1–13 Days Overdue

    14+ Days Overdue (Lost / Unreturned Device)

    • Main Unit (Pocket Wi-Fi): $400.00

    • Power Bank: $200.00
