My phone goes straight to answer phone when people call

My iPhone 4s sometimes goes straight to answer phone when people call. I don't hear the phone ring at all. It's really frustrating as I miss important calls.

If you see a Crescent Moon icon in the top status bar, check: Settings - Do not Disturb = Off

When people call my phone it only rings once and then goes silent until voicemail picks up?

Is anyone having a problem with their voicemail on Iphone 4s. When people call me it only rings once on their end and then goes silent until my voicemail picks up?

Then get your iPhone checked out by an Apple Genius.. Or you can go online and Apple will check out your iPhone with an App sent via email.............

When people call me my phone never seems to ring....

I have had this problem since I started with Verizon years ago and I have had about 4 different phones with the company. People will call my phone and they claim the phone rings and rings until finally the voice mail picks up but the strange thing about it is that my phone does not ring. Yet I have never had dropped call problems and when I check the volume is on in fact at full blast so if it rang you would probably jump out of your seat from how loud it was lol. I checked and it shows I have at least 3 bars of service.
I live about 2 hours away from New York City but my parents and my sister all live down in Florida and they too have the same exact problem. It rings sometimes but not always. I used to get some sort of alert whenever someone left me a voice mail and now I get none. I just happen to know people call me because I check my voice mail and it said I have 3 new messages all from different people who claim they called me at a certain time but the thing is the phone is right here next to me and it has not rung at all.
My dad has a Samsung Galaxy smartphone and he has the same problem with that and previous phones. My mom just upgraded herself to an iphone and both me and my sister have basic phones until our next possible upgrade we will upgrade to smartphones. But the point is I have no clue why I have this problem when I should not have this at all. Even Verizon confirmed there are no service problems where I live or down where my parents live so service is not the issue here and the maps show that both me and my family are covered. Any idea on why it is when people call their calls do not go through for me and why I get no voice mail updates when someone leaves a voice mail?
Just so annoying. But the help is greatly appreciated. Not sure if anyone has this same problem. I used to have Virgin Mobile years ago before we got Verizon even though the service sucked I never had this kind of problem I described.

I am sorry if I have not been able to respond sooner. I am taking night and day classes during the week so have been as busy as ever with school. But well I will give this a shot. As for signal well here is the deal. On campus no one gets signal. I know people who have all sorts of cell phone services you name it and they wont get signals. But the verizon maps shows we are covered all over campus. Some people suspect because the building is made completely out of metal that would cause us to never get service cause when we go into the building next door which is a brick building we get service fine no matter what provider.I know people who use iphones on verizon and get no service at school. But outside of school and outside the building and anywhere else I go to I get perfect service. Even where I live I live in like the middle of the woods here where there are tons of trees and when people complain they get no service I am showing at least 3 our of 4 bars of service and am able to text my friends for a while and texts go through no problems.
However sometimes I go to take my phone out and I will notice the bars jump like I can have 4 bars of service then it jumps to 2 bars then it says 1X with no bars then it says EV then it goes back to like 4 bars then back to 3 where it stays on 3 for a while. This only happens once in a while. I usually do a simple phone restart by removing the battery and this solves that issue but as for making phone calls and sending texts (aside from being inside school) I have never had a problem making or sending a call or text. Only in school will my call fade and get lost. The problem with the time is that the voice mail does not give you the time the person who left the message called. I am not sure how to verify this because I even check my missed calls log and the person who left me the message well their number is no where to be found on my missed calls log.
My dad on the other hand just recently about a month ago upgraded his basic phone to the Samsung Galaxy III and he said he has the same exact issue the only difference is when someone leaves a voice mail his phone will send him a notification stating something like "you have one new voice mail" while as my phone does not pop up any messages. I missed a Dr.s appointment recently because something happened with my calender and I wrote down the wrong date. My dr.s office called to remind me of the appointment date but I missed it because I never got the call and they said they had left a voice mail which I had never gotten to begin with. I also made sure the volume on the phone was up in fact I had it higher then usual so if someone calls you might jump from the surprise call lol but yes anyways this is the status of the situation.
It appears it is something on the family plan. I had this problem before where I was unable to send and receive picture messages from people so when my parents would text me a picture of something from work or whatever my phone would not get it and they would ask me why and it turns out Verizon put a block on my phone so I could not get picture messages. They removed it at once and problem was solved. I am not sure if this could be a similar situation where you guys in Verizon put some sort of block on my phone that could have caused this to happen on my phone where the calls are not getting through? Or do you think it could be something else? It's me my parents and my sister and we have a family share plan and all of us have this same exact issue but I just seem to be having it a lot longer then they did. Sorry if this was long wanted to update the situation thanks for responding.

My phone ringtone is set to old phone, however when people call it is just a "buzz" notification (not old phone). Help!

Try changing the tone to something else - see if you can hear the new tone.
Then switch back, you should hear Old Phone again.

HT3965 How do I change the ID that shows on other people's phones when I call from my iPhone five

How do I change ID that shows on other people's phones when I call from my iPhone5?

my son had this problem. I went to the apple store and they wiped out and restored the phone.. They said that was all they could do but that I should call our phone carrier and ask them. I did. They asked if in the top left side, next to battery power there was a icon of a half moon. There was. They said to go in to settings and go to "Do not Disturb" and turn it off. I did.....problem solved!!! Somehow "do not disturb" was turned on and that is what happens if it is!!
I hope this helps.

Do you have a case on the phone? If so, can you try a call without the case on. If not, take a look at this support document to see if anything there helps. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1631

Why does my iPhone shows "restricted" on other people's phone when I call them?

Why does my iPhone shows "restricted" on other people's phone when I call them?

Lena the only previous e-mail message was on Tuesday Dec 30 which stated…..
Lets get your Caller ID to work as it should! I will send you a private message so that we can better assist.
This e-mail states that another ‘private message’ presumably via e-mail would be sent/received but I haven’t received anything else from an e-mail perspective. Presumably it is just a matter of navigating through a low number of settings to get to the caller-id option.
Thank you,

When people call, they got a busy tone even though i do not use the phone. Whats wrong

Question: when people call, they got a busy tone even though I do not use the phone. Whats wrong?

Hey rolffsweden,
You might have Do Not Disturb turned on - I would check that first:
To enable/disable, tap Settings > Do Not Disturb. When Do Not Disturb is on, a "moon" icon will appear in the status bar.
or
You can enable/disable Do Not Disturb in Control Center.

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 cannot get my new 5S to emit a sound when people call in. Not the "Do not Disturb".

Whatever I have done to the 5S phone or something within it, I cannot get it to emit a noise when people call in.
I have read recent blogs but to no avail - theproblem still exists.
What to do?

In the control panel is the moon black or white it should be black On side of iphone is the mute button set to red? Go to sounds and pick another ring tone are the volume button tuned up If it still will not work Try a Reset press power button & menu button hold both down together Until you see the Apple Logo you will not lose any data.

How do i put a ringtone so when people call they hear music

How do i put song on phone so when people call me they hear the song

Do you mean put a song as your voicemail message?
If so check with your service provider.
If not, you can't make the people who are calling you hear the ringtone you have put for them (unless of course they are in the same room as you are).

My phone goes straight to answer phone when people call
