Why can't I call my home phone from my iPhone 6?

[michael8452]

my phone works fine except when i call my home land line,it rings a half a ring,then asks for my verizon voicemail password to get my voicemail,so i can not call my home because of this,any help?

When you dial your home land line are you using speed dial or the full ten digit number? Check the contact of "home" in your phone and make sure it's not saved in the number 1 contact spot and or upon further review doesn't have a *86 in front of it.

Can you explain how you are dialing the number?

[michael8452]

I had it in speed dial, then removed it, also deleted it from contacts, then dialed 1 and area Code and number and still same thing

It sounds as if you are having your home phone(land line) forwarded to your cell phone. You may have to disable call forwarding from your home phone.

If wow cable has a web interface for your account, you may be able to disable call forwarding from there.

Omg! Disabling all numbers that have been used for call forwarding worked! Thank you so much!!!!!
