It's her phone settings. (if not consistent, then it could be cell service issues-- overloaded --weak signal--)


Be aware that it just might be on purpose --- some people actually prefer to return calls that have left messages and turn off the phone as an easy way to handle/control the phone.


If you have ever been plagued by calls, texts, politicians, charities, assorted whatevers of dubious acceptability all hours of the day and night --- and tried to contain it the ever changing IOS settings ---- then you can understand that approach.


You could also offer tech assistance in her settings, **if** she is comfortable with that.

Contact your Carrier, if Need be:

If blocking out ends up not being the culprit, then have your mother contact the Carrier, as they are the one who provide you with the service of calling.
