Weird-cannot tell if my outgoing calls are connecting

I’ve looked online and can’t find anything about this. My phone has recently become completely silent when I make a call. I used to hear ringing when I made a call so I knew the call had at least connected. Now I hear nothing until either the person answers, the call fails, or it goes to voice mail. Is that an issue with my phone settings, my carrier, or what? It’s very disconcerting not to know if my call even connected?
