How to Get iPhone Ringer Problems Fixed

Check if the Mute is On

First of all, rule out simple problems before you dive in more complicated ones. Ensure that you have not silenced your iPhone or have forgotten it back on. To check, there are two ways:

On the side of your iPhone, check the mute switch. It should be turned off. The indicator if it is turned on is the orange line in the switch.

Check Settings app and tap Sounds. The Ringer and Alerts slider does not go all the way to the left. To turn up the volume, move the slider to the right in order.

Check if Your Speaker Works

At the bottom of your iPhone, the bottom is used for whatever sounds your phone makes. Whether you play games, listen to music, watch movies or hear a ringtone for your incoming calls, everything is all about the speaker. If you do not hear calls, your speaker might be broken. If this is the case, play music or YouTube video to check your volume. If the audio is fine, that's not the problem. If no sound comes out, but you've got the volume up loud, you need to repair your iPhone's speaker.

Check if the Caller was Blocked

If one person calls you, but no signs of call, you've possibly blocked their numbers. Apple gave iOS 7 users the ability to block numbers, text messages and FaceTime from phone numbers. To see if the number is still stuck on your phone: Tap Settings, Phone, and Blocked. On the screen, you can see a list of the phone numbers you have once blocked. To unblock, tap Edit in the upper-right corner, then touch the red circle, and then the Unblock button.

Examine Your Ringtone

If still not solved, check your ringtone. If you have a custom ringtone, the ringtone might be getting corrupted or deleted may cause your phone not to ring whenever someone is calling. To address the problems with ringtones, try these.

• To set a new default ringtone, tap the Settings, Sounds, and Ringtone. Once done, choose a new ringtone. • To check if the person, whose calling is missing, tap Phone, Contacts, and locate the person's name and tap. Once done, tap the edit. Check the line and assign a new ringtone. If the unique tone is the problem, locate all the contacts assigned and select a new one.
