Phone won't ring

The ringtone on my phone has suddenly stopped working. It still vibrates, but no ring. The settings seem to be correct and the volume is up high. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hey karenj_50,
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not showing a orange dot.
There is a picture of the switch on page 23 of the iPhone User Guide:

Phone won't ring speaker doesn't work

I just updated to ios7 and now my iphone verizon 4s and now my phone won't ring and the speaker won't work. Do not disturb is not on and it's not in silent mode????

Have you tried going into settings -> sounds and seeing if they were disabled there?

My mom's 3gs phone won't ring. The silence button is not turned and we have tried everything! Help

Help my moms 3gs iphone won't ring. We have tried everything from resetting the phone and checking the side of it. Help us.

A divert is a function that allows you to either forward calls to another phone, or directly to answer phone. I'm not 100% if those functions are available for AT&T (I'm from the UK).
Can the iPhone 3GS play music fine? Can the volume be adjusted during playback, and is it loud and clear?
It's also worth checking to see if the "ringtone" hasn't been changed.
Settings > Sounds > Ringtones
Select a different ringtone and it should give you a sample. Try that and see if the phone rings when you get a call.
Are you close to a local Apple store? It's worth getting some 1-to-1 time with one of their Geniuses.

My phone won't ring after os upgrade

since the last os upgrade my phone does not ring anymore i've changed the the ringtone types and still don't ring my alerts work fine the phone lights up when calls come in an will vibrate also

Hello stinkeone,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Since you have already verified your settings are configured correctly for ringtones, I'd like you to first reset your iPhone by following the directions in the first article below. If the issue persists, then please back up your phone, and restore it as new using iTunes.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
Take care,
Alex H.

Since last upgrade my phone won't ring when I get a call or text message

Anyway to get phone to ring when I get a call or message. Since the last upgrade it will only ring occasionally

Hi BrendaQ,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone does not ring when you receive calls or messages, start with these steps:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

Original iPhone using 2.0 and now the phone won't ring

Anyone else have an issue with your 1st gen iPhone not ringing after installing 2.0? I have shut it off (then turned it back on), reset it, reinstalled 2.0 a couple times but the phone still will not ring. Oh and yes the phone is not set to silent using the switch above the volume control.
Second issue is iPod sometimes will not play through speaker, works when after reset.

I am now on my 4th 1st generation iphone. I bought the phone new. I've now had to see the "genious" people more times than I'd care to. They "say" they replace with new phones!!!? The latest issues is that it shuts itself down and will not start without resetting it. Then, once that's done, and I shut it down, it will not start back again. The "genious" on the phone says to restore it to factory.. and again, SAME issue. Buggy is not even close. I bought the bluetooth, and that was 2 "new" iphones, plus 3 new bluetooth headsets. So, here I go again, to the APPLE "genious" bar again.. In total, I've spent more time on this phone, fixing it's numerous issues.. Not to mention... GAS PRICES>>>>>>>> I wonder if they have a reimibursement form for how much gas I've had to use to see these idiots?...Makes me want to return it, and go back to my treo!.... Anyone else haveing these issue, please contact me directly... I'm all about a product working correctly... and spending the money on the first gen. phones, just ticks me off. [email protected]

I phone won't ring

My iPhone just started to not ring I went to settings checked the volume when I look at new ringtones in setting the sound works all calls vibrate

Check your mute button.The mute button on IPhone4 is located close to your left thumb in normal conversation mode. Flick it to see if its on the right side.

My phone won't ring

Why would my iPhone just stop ringing?

Hi Kylee Cosmo,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The first thing I would check is to make sure the ring/silent switch is not set to silent (muted).
Ring/Silent switch - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3bd01398
Then, restart and/or reset the iPhone:

My phone won't ring, it only vibrates.

It is not my mute button, the volume is turned up and the settings are correct. It is also not related to use of headphones. Any clue why it isn't working?

Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

2G won't ring when using AOL radio

Downloaded AOL radio on my 2G Iphone and if I'm listening to the radio the phone won't ring thru. I know u can't use both the edge and the phone at the same time but does it block incoming calls?

i wish there was a way that can be "fixed"...i AM addicted already...especially to AOL Radio
oh well, i guess i will have to dish out the $300 for the new phone in order for calls to come in
can anyone "loan" an addict $300?

IOS 7 phone no longer rings

Just installed IOS 7 onto my iphone 4s and one small bug:
THE FREAKIN PHONE WON'T RING OR VIBRATE FOR INCOMING CALLS == Guess Apple wants 100% mindshare -- if you're not staring at your phone ALL the time, you're not a TRUE BELIEVER

What if you change the ringtone > restart the phone > check again

My iphone won't ring

After updating my phone won't ring...help

You haven't told us much, so I'll guess there are one of two possible causes.
Settings > Do Not Disturb in "On". Turn it off.
Your mute button is "On". (If it's on, the slider near the volume buttons would display a red area.) Turn it off.

Won't ring

Somehow, I have pushed a button and now my phone won't ring...only vibrate and I have it on profiles, loud. The mute button isn't pushed either - I've tried that. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks so much!

Welcome to the forums
Try a Battery Pull:
1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://store.berryreview.com/product.asp?id=27660&n=QuickPull-Free
A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.
