When making a phone call, can't hear the ringing sound

On my iPhone 5s, when I'm calling someone, I don't hear the usual ringing sound until the person picks up. I'm not talking about the touch tones when dialing a number, nor am I referring to the ring tone when I have an incoming call. Simply the every-two-seconds ringing indicator once you've dialed a number, before the person picks up. Once someone picks up, the call quality is fine.
This started happening randomly this afternoon. I've had the phone for about a month; currently on iOS 7.1.1.

  • When I call I can't hear the ringing sound or the other person talking to me unless I have the headset plugged in or when I have it on speaker. Help please !

    Mine does this intermittently. Occasionally after dialing the number, I can’t hear anything. I routinely have re-dial and sometimes this does not work either. Sometimes if I close all applications, including the dialer, then restart the dialer, it will work again. Sometimes I have to close all programs and restart the phone. It’s definitely frustrating.

  • Very Low Volume on Phone Calls - Can barely hear the other person

    Just picked up my iPhone 4 at the Apple Store. Tried to make a phone call the the call volume is so low I can barely hear the other person calling.
    The speaker volume is not much better. The other person can hear me fine and says the sound is great.
    The volume dots are all the way up.
    The settings sound voulme under ringer is all the way up.
    ipod volume lock is not activated.
    Any other settings to check out?

    OK now I don't feel like I'm the only one. I've also done a hard reset and still suffer from the same issue.
    Since it seems to be the popular question, no the plastic is no longer on my phone.
    To call the volume I'm hearing a whisper would be a overstatement. This is a much bigger issue than the antenna. The phone is basically unusable without headphones. Unfortunately I'm not very close to a Apple store to exchange.

  • When making a phone call I have to put it on speaker to hear the person I'm calling.

    When making a phone call I have to put it on speaker to hear who I'm calling. I can't hear when putting the phone to my ear.

    I had the same problem just one hour ago.  I could not hear the person I's talking to unless I put it on speaker.
    I restarted my iPhone 4 and still the problem was there.
    And it automatically started working again in one hour.
    I would suggest to shake the iPhone a little and try to reboot and see if it's helping.

    Hi saintmary82,
    If you are having a hard time hearing people through the receiver, take a look at the article below for some suggestions to get it sorted out. Start with cleaning the receiver and making sure your iPhone is up to date. If you continue to have issues, then you may want to contact Apple Support for further assistance.

  • Internet connection only when making a phone call

    I own a Powerbook G4, I connect to the internet wireless via aiport. I can connect only when making a phone call, my ISP is virgin.net. I've changed the micro-filter. Can any one help me on this problem.
    Thanks
    Lee

    Thanks for the usefull information, I've contacted BT they are my telephone provider here in the UK, and they did a line test, not a mechanical test as by an engineer, and said the line is OK. My in-comming & out-going calls are fine, but with interference on the line. How did you get past this problem?

  • When making a phone call i cant be heard

    when making a phone call i can not be heard?

    ypur mic may be out which is a little hole down at the bottom of your phone. you can try powering the phone off and on then you can do a hard reset home button + power button for 30 sec or intell you get a apple logo. if that still isnt working you cna back up your information to itunes and then restore your phone as new. if your still having a problem then it is hard ware related and you can then get it replaced by apple for free if your within the limited warranty

  • How do you reduce/turn off keypad sound when making a phone call

    How do you reduce/turn off keypad sound when making a phone call?

    If I understand the question correctly, it is not about turning off keyboard clicks, it's about silencing the beeps made when manually keying in a  phone number. With keyboard clicks turned off, the beeps still sound when keying in a phone number. If I'm reading the iPhone User Guide correctly, it explains how to turn off keyboard clicks but not how to silence the   beeps when keying in a phone number. The only way I have found to silence the beeps is to put the phone into silent mode.

  • Screen stays on when making a phone call

    I am wondering if there is a setting for making the screen go black when making a phone call. I have done some research and it seems there should be a proximity sensor that makes the screen turn off when the sensor is activated. If there is no setting for this sensor then I have to believe that the phone is defective and must be returned - I just wanted to be sure that a setting doesn't exist to correct the problem before doing that. It is a Droid X2. Thank you in advance for any help provided! 

    Yes, there is a small "proximity sensor" in the upper left corner next to the ear piece.  When you "cover" it after making a call, the screen should go blank. If it is staying on when you cover that (with your face/ear or even your hand) if sounds like it is defective. There are no Settings that I am aware of that makes the screen stay "always on".  At least on my Droid X.
    Have you tried running in SAFE MODE just to make sure it's not some 3rd party app causing the problem?
    - Power Off
    - Press & hold the MENU button (far left button)
    - Power up phone, but continue to HOLD the MENU button for like 1-2 mins.
    Phone should come up saying "SAFE MODE" in lower left side.
    Test you issue.
    To get out of SAFE MODE, just power off & on as usual.

    Connect and disconnect the headphones a few times.
    Clean the headphone port. Something as simple as a hair or cloth thread can cause problems.
