Have an iPhone 5. Phone does not ring when calls come in and texts sent from non-iPhones are delayed by 4-5 hours before receiving.

Have an iPhone 5. Phone does not ring when calls come in and texts sent from non-iPhones are delayed by 4-5 hours before receiving.

This morning I woke up thinking that I should turn off my iPhone and then call it from a land line. If the problem is the network then there would be a delay before I heard ringing.
I turned my iPhone off and called it. Right away I heard my message.
I turned my iPhone back on and called it. It rang right away!
So, did Virgin Mobile fix the problem or did turning my iPhone off fix the problem?
I don't know, but I'll take either. I do know that Virgin Mobile said it would be four days to check the problem. Did the problem get fixed yesterday when the four business days were up. I do know that I've had my iPhone on for a long, long time. Did upgrading to 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 cause the problem and turning my iPhone off reset my iPhone?
If you have delayed ringing problem and turning your iPhone off and on again resolved it, please post a note here.
P.S. I did call Virgin Mobile and its records show the investigation is still open. I hope my points get passed on to the investigators.
P.P.S. Reading my notes, I had turned my iPhone off and on last week. Maybe it's all the phase of the moon.

In your first post you said you tried a reset, is this what you did, if not do this: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release(ignore the slide to power off). The phone has independent volume control for each function, make sure your volume is turned up:

Phone does not ring when I get calls

My phone does not ring when I receive incoming calls since I upgraded software to IOS 7.

I tried that just now and it doesn't seem to have fixed it--but it is not a constant problem--just sometimes! I received a call from a friend when do not disturb was turned off but also when it was on! That was really strange!
Now I am trying to figure out why my camera flash won't work!!
Yikes crazy stuff going on with my phone since I updated the software!.

Phone will not ring when called

Hello... I just purchased the iPhone from AT&t and the phone will not ring when called. I have gone to settings, sounds, ringtones and all looks good. Phone sometimes shows a caller is calling but not always and it is not ringing. Please help>>>

If the issue is still occuring try a restore just in case.
If that does not solve the issue..... Take it back to where you purchased it from
AT&T's DOA (dead on arrival policy) is 30 days from the day of purchase.
They should be able to replace the iPhone for you as long as you ask them to within 30 days of it being purchased.

My phone does not ring when receiving a call. It then goes to voicemail and doesn't show a missed call.

I have an iPhone 4. When someone tries to call me, the phone sometimes(most of the time now) does not ring. It will roll over to voicemail but does not show a missed call. Has anyone had this same thing happen and how did you get it rectified?

My wife's iphone 4 also has your same no ring problem as does my iphone 5 just less often. I called her iphone 4 at home from where I work 20 miles away on my iphone 5. With her phone in 3G mode ONE call went through and 9 went to voice mail in 10 tries. This is a 10% sucess rate!! I also could listen in real time from the wired work phone and the wired home phone. She turned off 3G mode and it went to "O" mode at the top left of the screen after the ATT. In this mode it rang on the first ring tone 5 times out of 5 tries which is 100% of the time. I have learned that the calling party will hear up to 4 ring tones when placing a call on the ATT network. If the ring tone changes volume slightly before the 4th ring then and only then will the cell phone start to ring. If the ring tone does not change after the 4th ring you get voice mail. If the calling party does not leave a voice message there is never a missed call displayed on the iphone. If the calling party does leave a voice message a few minutes later the iphone dings for arriving voice mail but still no missed call indication.
This appears to be related to the time of day and the ATT tower that the receiving caller is using. Tried other towers and it works in 3G mode 10 times out of 10 tries. Apple replaced the first iphone 4 with a new phone, no improvement. ATT replaced the SIM card and no improvement. ATT so far is clue less. This has been going on every since we got the new iphones which is 4 months. The ATT web site also describes this same problem from several years ago. Has anyone got better information?
Thanks

Phone does not ring when in sleep mode

I have noticed that if I attempt to make a call to my phone when it is 'asleep', i.e. a few minutes after it auto locks, then it does not ring. When I 'activate' it by pressing the home button I see those calls appearing as missed calls. Any idea why this happens?

This is the exact problem i'm having right now, I don't know why it's happening, but when i have it on the desk and when it's in sleep mode, I can get phonecalls and it won't ring but it won't show up as missed calls either, if i get a voice message i'll get it if i take it out of sleep mode and let it sit with full reception for a minute.
I also lose all reception while in sleep mode.

Phone does not ring when people call your number

A lot of people have complained that when they call my phone I never answer even though the phone rings. However, the iPhone does not show a missed call. Years later I get a voicemail indicator. My phone shows full signal strength and the thing never rings. I have noticed this way too many times so I decided to post this question to see if anyone else has noticed the same thing.

The most common causes for this behavior:
1. Bad coverage/roaming (unlikely, since you said you have good AT&T coverage)
2. Frequent EDGE use (calls will go to voicemail if you are actively using EDGE)
3. Defective or improperly set ringer (if this were the problem, you'd be registering a lot of "missed calls" in your Recents list, which I assume you are not)
4. Bad SIM card
If you have eliminated #1-3, then it is likely #4. You can get your SIM swapped out very quickly at the AT&T store.

Phone does not ring when plugged into external speakers

Is there a docking speaker that will allow the iPhone to ring for incoming calls when plugged into speaker listening to music?

Hi Alicia,
All of the iPhone compatible speakers listed here: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shopiphone/iphoneaccessories/speakers?mco=MTU2NjIwMw should allow the iPhone to ring while in the dock.
You can also see a rating and reviews for each dock.

You might try restarting your device, your router and your Apple TV.

My i4s phone does not ring on incoming calls. The settings appear to be correct

My i4s phone does not ring on incoming calls. The settings appear to be correct for the phone to ring.
Also, during a call, when I hit the speaker buttom, I can neither hear nor be heard by the other party
Any suggestions?

Try a factory restore, this might be a software problem so just plug into itunes and go and click the restore button. If this doesnt fix it then its a hardware problem meaning you need to head to an apple store for a replacement.
