No, there doesn't need to be a third option. If DND is turned off, neither of those options have any effect. If DND is turned off and your phone is not ringing the problem is something else. Check that the mute switch is not enabled. Make sure that Settings>Phone>Silence Unknown Callers is turned off. Check your volum.
