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.............

HT1430 When I call someone it doesn't ring. It's just silent until they answer. Then I can hear them fine.

I have had my iphone 5 for less than a week, and ive had this problem from the start...When I dial a number it doesn't ring it's just silent. Then when they answer I can hear them and they can hear me fine. Have a got something turned off?? I have tried turning up the volume when calling and tried the good old off and on again. Still no luck. Thanks

Thanks John UK. I checked the firewall but it set to allow all incoming calls. So, I am still at square one. Any further suggestions?

Iphone 5 - When people call my phone they get a message saying this phone is currently unavailable, even though phone is switched on with plenty of signal. Any ideas?

Have you contacted your service provider to find out if there is a service interuption in your area or geographical region?

When making an outgoing call, it rings once and then says 'Call failed' - any solutions?

I had the same problem!! I had to complain quite a few times to AT&T & found out I had to get the 3G MicroCell device. You also have to pay an extra $20 a month for it! You have to purchase it yourself($200)...which is a bunch of crap too!! But they can research your area & when they finally figure out that it's a bad servise area they will give it to you for FREE!! Now my phone works like it's supposed to!! So check it out!! Good Luck!!

My wife and I both have iPhones recently when someone calls her phone mine also rings. How do I stop this?

Both my wife and I have IPhones (5C and 4S). For some reason for the last several months when someone calls one of our phones it rings on both phones. It seems to have started with the OS updates but that may be a coincidence. Is there a way to stop this?

So if I turn off IPhone Cellular calls this will eliminate the problem? As I read it the double ringing only occurs when we are signed in and the phones are close and connected to WIFi.
Correct, I wouldn't lead you astray with a false response. It happens because you and your wife are using the same Apple id for facetime - which you shouldn't do, either you or her will need a separate id for facetime.

Is anyone having problems with iPhone 5 not vibrating properly when receiving calls? It seems to vibrate once and stops?

When receiving a call, my phone only vibrates once even if its on silent or not. I have checked all the settings and all appears ok. It works sometimes and doesn't other times. Does anyone know how this can be fixed?
Thanks

Maybe your buzzer gets stuck when it vibrates? Try playing it by creating a custom vibration. Does it keep working properly then?
If that works, try setting up another vibration that should be played when someone calls you.

HELP -- My iPhone only rings 2 times, then goes to voice mail!

is there any way for me to extend the rings to 5?

If you're using AT&T, dial 611 from your phone and ask the representative to set it for you. They could set it up to 30 seconds before going to vioce mail.

When I press theFacebook icon, it starts to connect and then goes back to iPad homepage

Facebook icon on homepage will not connect me to Facebook. It starts to, then immediately goes back to iPad gomepage

Is it just that app you're having an issue with?
Make sure your iOS is updated.
Reboot the iPad by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
All else fails, delete the app, and then download again.

Apple do something, many have problems with hand off. People call my phone but the mac doesn't ring.

Ive got everything set up, done a logout/login and double checked everything.

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.

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.

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.
