Help fix my problem, I am not receiving incoming calls on my iphone4

When I am on the phone I can hear when I get an incoming call, but I do not see the call that is coming in. The calls do not show on the screen or give me the option to retrieve the phone call. I have checked the settings over and over, I have reset my cell, I have turned it of and on, and have had people call multiple times to see if it was working again. It has become a big inconvienience.

Why does my iPhone 5s not receive incoming calls

My iPhone 5s does not ring when receiving incoming calls yet I have signal, do not disturb is off and I receive texts or voicemails notifying me of a missed call which I can return immediately. What is going on? How can I fix this?

Yes the ringtone works. I know you are trying to help however I am fairly tech savvy and have eliminated all basic user defined settings that could cause the issue. The issue is not that there is no sound the issue is that there is no call incoming notification at all. The call does not connect to my Boone to even make it ring and display as a missed call

IPhone 5s is not receiving incoming calls

Hi everyone,
I am having problems with receiving incoming calls after I got the 5s. Sometimes, it didn't even ring, just went straight to voice mail even though the signal was strong. Sometimes they have to call me up to 8 - 10 times for the phone to ring once and the other calls will appear as missed calls. Does anyone experience the same problem with the 5s? Should I bring it to the apple store for them to take a look?
Thanks

Double check settings - do not disturb - off

Phone does not receive incoming calls

Please help. Verizon can't seem to. My phone does not receive 90% of its incoming calls or messages. I have been told to delete all of my messages and call logs- no use. I have tried removing the battery and resetting the phone. I did make sure the phone was not in "do not disturb" mood- it is not. People who call me say that it doesn't ring, just goes straight to voice mail even though the phone is on. Very frustrating problem as my 6 year old phone before seemed to give me better service. I feel like a child who is only allowed to make outgoing calls! Please help. All suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

Check the Call Forwarding section. There are two options to select. One says Forward All Calls and the other says Forward Unanswered Calls. Make sure Forward All Calls is not selected. That would cause all calls to go to the number specified which may be your voicemail. To get there from the home screen click the Phone icon > push the option button (left of the trackball) > click options > click Call Forwarding.

Skype not receiving incoming calls and messages- only when I sign in again will I receive

My skype has been acting up after 7.6. Everytime someone calls me or messages me the first time it logs in, I wont receive a call or notification. Only when I sign out and sign back in will I get a notification saying I missed a call. But in the first place, I didn't even receive one. There was no pop up incoming call. I also won't receive recent instant messages unless I repeatedly log in and outPlease help me find a solution. I've tried uninstaling and reinstalling 3 times already and the problem still persists . Thank you!

Do any other SIM cards work in it ? Sounds like it could be blacklisted.
Normally when a handset is blacklisted , you can send and receive SMS , but not make or receive calls.

Sony Xperia Z3V sometimes not receiving incoming calls

Hello everyone! I bought a Sony Xperia Z3V phone on Verizon online and it works awesome but it has one issue. Lately, my friend texts me and says he's going to call me and I say ok. I wait for his call but never rings. He texts me and says he called me twice but my phone never rang at all! So I got my house phone and called myself but it didn't ring neither! I called myself 4 times and no incoming call at all! I left myself a voicemail and it did went through. Now here's the kicker, I have to make a phone call in order for the incoming calls to go through.... I tested that by calling my voicemail or house phone. After that, I called myself again and it went through. I asked my friend to call me back and it went through. BUT me making phone calls in order for the phone to receive other people's phone calls is not normal or supposed to be happening. What if I get an important call from someone and my phone doesn't get the call at all and I miss it?! Oh and the phone does have signal and is connected to wifi. No the phone is not rooted nor I want to root it at all. Anyone else dealing with this? Can anyone help me please and find a solution? Thank you.

Hi Phy, so when the probelm of not recieving phone calls happened again, I went to safe mode to see if the calls will go through and it didn't unfortunatly. Again I made a call to voicemail or house phone, then called myself and it went through. When I had it on safe mode, all the apps I had installed were removed. I went to check the already installed apps that the phone has to see if there is any corrupted app anywhere and they all seem to be working fine. What do you think is causing this? Do you have another solution? Thanks.

Bought a new phone and now we can not receive incoming calls

This week I bought a new Panasonic cordless handset with no answering machine to replace our AT&T desk phone. I set it all up and waited the 7 hours for it to charge. Checked for dial tone, ringer, and volume. Called the house # from my cell phone and the screen on the Panasonic never showed an incoming call - kicked into voice mail (provided by Verizon) after the preset 5 rings so I left a test message. Panasonic screen showed a "1 new voice mail message". I was able to dial the voice mail access phone # and listen to my test message. Disconnected the new handset and reconnected our old phone - worked just fine. Returned the Panasonic to the store where purchased and exchanged for another (same model). Sales assoc. said there may be a code needed from Verizon. Spent hours on the phone attempting to speak to a real person at the customer service # and decided none work there anymore - everything was automated! After "4 digit pin" frustrations I gave up!
So if you've read this far and can help I'd sure appreciate it! Line works fine, old phone works fine, checked ringer/volume on new phone. Only working phone jack in the house (used to have 2 but when we contracted with V last year they only changed over one - another frustration). And how can I find out when our contract is up?!?

Your mostly talking to peers here. Better off using the
http://www22.verizon.com/support/residential/contact-us/index.htm
option which is on all the Verizon pages. Should always lead you to phone numbers (1-800-verizon) and often an online chat. Sometimes will show you and email option.
As far as peers helping we would need to know what type phone service and general area of the country. Obviously varies as I have had no trouble with panasonic, uniden and other phones at my two locations (NY and FL).

Verizon iPhone 4S 16GB does not receive incoming calls

Hi all,
In December, I bought my first iPhone, and I absolutely love it. However, recently I've had (what I consider) a big issue. I am self-employed, and rely on this phone to make money from customers calling me inquiring about items I have in my store, or items they will pay a finders fee to locate.
In the past week, I've had two people say they cannot get in touch with me. One, a customer, and the other, my mother, who is in the hospital. Both say they tried multiple times, and the phone would just keep ringing, and would never get to voicemail. I looked at my missed calls, and I had no notifications of a missed call, nor any that showed up in my log. Both have confirmed they called my exact cell #. What gives? Has anyone else had this issue? I'd take it to Verizon (or would an Apple store be better?) but since this is an isolated event, I doubt it would "reveal itsellf" when the issue will attempt to be replicated in-store.
Could anyone give me some guidance or advice on what would be ideal to do with an issue such as this?

Check the Call Forwarding section. There are two options to select. One says Forward All Calls and the other says Forward Unanswered Calls. Make sure Forward All Calls is not selected. That would cause all calls to go to the number specified which may be your voicemail.

I don't know why it stopped working but it happened a month or two ago but the option on this phone that's usually all the way to the left when you select your device but now its not and I don't know what caused it. ive already tried troubleshooting my problem but have found no help.

Hello Salmomma,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac. I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:
iPhone not appearing in iTunes

Additionally, you can delete music directly from the iPhone by swiping the song:
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.

Good day Sidharth Namrta,
It sounds like you are unable to make any calls, but you can recieve them, and everything else seems to work fine. I recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
Follow the steps below to resolve this issue. Please test after each step.
Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
Check your phone settings:
Check your Do Not Disturb settings: Tap Settings > Do Not Disturb.
Check for any blocked phone numbers: Tap Settings > Phone > Blocked.
See if Call Forwarding is turned on: Tap Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding.
Ensure that your software is up to date:
Check for a carrier settings update.
Check for an iOS software update.
Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
If the iPhone has a SIM card, reseat the SIM card.
If the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is on the Verizon network, dial *228 from the iPhone and select option 2 to update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL). The PRL determines the cellular towers the phone uses for cellular service, selecting those with the best signal strength.
Reset the network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Try to make or receive calls in another location.
Attempt to isolate to one network band:
If you're having the issue on LTE, disable LTE, if possible, and try again.
If you're having the issue on 3G/4G, disable 3G/4G, if possible, and try again.
Contact the carrier to check the following:
Your account is properly configured to use the specific iPhone that has the issue.
There are no localized service outages.
Your account doesn't have a billing-related block.
Your calls don't have errors on the carrier system.
Restore the phone as new.
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, go to an Apple Retail Store, carrier, Apple Authorized Reseller, or contact AppleCare to send the phone in for service.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Has your carrier been having issues with Call Display? Do the telephone numbers come up when people call, or does it just show 'Unknown Number' or 'Blocked' ?

Sounds like it's a problem with the Acrobat settings. Did you set them to the same resolution?
