Iphone 4 doesn't ring when someone calls

My iPhone 4 does not ring when someone calls. I have checked volume and it is turned on. Left side button is up for ring sound. Volume buttons don't do any good. I updated my phone to IOS 5.1 but no difference. Please help with this issue. Thanks

I had the problem a few times. I had a faulty toggle switch (between vibrate and sound). I took it into the apple store, and I was covered under apple care. I walked out with a new phone, free of charge.

My iPad doesn't ring when someone calls on face time. Any idea why?

I have two iPads... both are brand new. When I use face time to call from iPad "1" to iPad "2" everything works fine. When I call from iPad "2" to iPad "1" iPad "1" doesn't ring. The screen lights up with the 'accept call' or reject call buttons, and if I hit accept, it works fine. But it doesn't ring.
Both iPads have the exact same settings. I have turned face time off, powered down, restarted and turned face time back on... nothing. And no offense to Apple's website, but I can't find anything that helps.
Any ideas out there? Or will I end up having to restore the original settings and re-install all of the apps and data?
Thanks...

My IPhone4 doesn't ring when people call me, but rings for alerts, texts, calendars..etc. What's wrong?? Also, it plays music through the speaker too....

My IPhone does not ring when someone calls me. This started happening a few days ago. It will ring if I get a text message or an alert of some sort but it just won't ring when someone calls me. It vibrates, just doesnt ring...Why is that?

I am having the exact same problem. If the phone is locked, when people call me, it goes to voicemail. My phone never rings and I never get a visual notification until it is too late. Similar problem with texts and emails when locked. No sound and no visual notification. I am a REALTOR. My phone is my lifeline. If it doesn't ring, it's a very expensive paper weight...

I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone. Anyway to solve this problem?

I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s, each phone is activited with a different service provider. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone. Hence you do not know exactly which line the caller called. If you answered using the wrong phone, then anyone calling the other number will not get through. Anyway to solve this problem?

Hey David Koh TP,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your devices are set up to use continuity together. Specifically, it sounds like you are signed into the same Apple ID in FaceTime, and have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. To resolve your issue, simply disable this setting:

Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

I gave my husband my I-phone 4s when I bought a 6. his phone rings when someone calls me. What do I do to stop this?

Hi Mforesman,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The article below will explain what steps to take when you give your iPhone to someone else. Your carrier can help you transfer your husband's cell phone number to the iPhone 4S.
If your husband does not already have an Apple ID, you will need to create a new one for him, so that your contacts, calendars, notes, etc. in iCloud are separate from his. Once he has his own Apple ID and telephone number, these will be linked on the iPhone 4S and he will no longer receive your telephone calls.

Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5622
What is an Apple ID?
An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
How do I get an Apple ID?
You may already have an Apple ID, and you only need one for everything you do with Apple. If you aren't sure, visit My Apple ID and click Find your Apple ID.
If you don't have an Apple ID, you can create one at My Apple ID. You can also create one by signing up for an Apple service (such as an iTunes Store or iCloud). You should use your primary email address as your Apple ID.

How do i get the phone to ring when someone calls, it seems to only vibrate and I can't figure out how to turn on the ringer

how do i get the phone to ring when someone calls, it seems to only vibrate and I can't figure out how to turn on the ringer

look in settings:sounds and be sure you have a ring tone set, and both vibrate buttons are off. Also be sure the volume slider id as far right as is comfortable.

HT1688 My iPhone won't ring when the caller is "Unknown". How do I make it ring in this sittuation?

My iPhone won't ring when the caller is "Unknown". How do I make it ring?

Do you even see the call come in on the phone? Do you see the missed call in your list? Or do you just get a voice mail.
If it never even shows up in your missed calls list, contact your carrier. Perhaps you have anonymous call blocking on your account. (I wish I did...)

After upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4S except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried rebooting?

Following upgrading to iOS7 I lost all sound for my 4s except for the ring when someone calls. I can't listen to music, I don't get text or email notifications. I have tried a wipe and reinstall, I've tried hard rebooting, I tried erasing all of my music and reinstalling it, I checked my Do Not Disturb, and I tried the AssistiveTouch mute button. Nothing. I can't even play music through bluetooth or headphones. Can anyone help please as its driving me mad!

I experience this problem too. I am using iPhone4 and just upgrade it to iOS7. And now I can not make outgoing call. I checked all the setting, and nothing wrong. I even replaced my sim card with the new one, still can not help.
I read this link
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5322252
and I try dial *#31#, it help, but not permanent solution.

After my last update, my iphone 5 doesn't ring when a call comes in, it goes directly to voicemail

I just installed the latest update to my iPhone 5 and now all my calls go directly to voicemail. Help needed.

Hello LoisJane,
It sounds like your phone is sending calls directly to voicemail and will not ring. It seems to me that Do Not Disturb may be enabled. Take a look at this info about how to set that up:
iOS: Using Do Not Disturb
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5463
You can use the Do Not Disturb setting to silence calls, alerts, and notifications.
To enable, tap Settings > Do Not Disturb. When Do Not Disturb is on, a "moon" icon will appear in the status bar.
To make changes to your Do Not Disturb settings, tap Settings > Do Not Disturb.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Why does every iPhone and iPad ring when somebody calls only 1 device? This started today.

Our iPhones and iPads have been working fine until today when somebody called one device in our house, every iPhone and iPad in the house rang. Why WHY WHY!!?!! I have
MacBook Pro 10.10.2
iPhone 4S 7.1.1
iPhone 4 8.1
iPhone 5 7.1.2
iPhone 6 8.2
iPad 2 8.1.1
iPad 3 8.1.2
but the Macbook doesn't ring.

This call was made using FaceTime for which the other devices were set to receive.

Having your cell phone ring when someone calls your landlines

Hello,
First sorry if this is the wrong area.
My Aunt was telling me how at their house they got rid of their landlines service, but was able to keep their number. Using equipment from verizon they were able to hook up something she said looked like a router and when someone would call the landlines number one of the cell phones would ring.
She wasn't really sure what it was called, but she said her husband got the equipment and all from Verizon. Can anyone tell me what this service is called and where on the website I can look at it to read more about it?
Thanks

I'm not about a piece of equipment that allows this, but here are a couple options to do what you're looking for:
1) Port your landline number to Verizon as a wireless number. This will completely close your account with your landline service provider, and your number will now be attached to your cell phone with Verizon. It should be fairly simple to do, just call Verizon or visit a store to get the process started.
2) Forward your current landline to a cell phone. If you only want your landline calls to go to your cellphone when you aren't there to answer, you could set up conditional call forwarding on your landline and point it to your cell phone. You would keep your landline service, and this option would make sense if you want to use the landline when you are home, but get calls from that number sent to your cellphone when you aren't there to answer. Different companies have different procedures and possibly charges for this service, you'd have to call your landline provider to find out.
If you want to be done with the landline service completely, just port the number to Verizon. If you want to keep it, set up forwarding.
