Phone does not ring.

My iphone 8 plus will not ring. I see that in the Do Not Disturb tab there is a silence tab and it has two options silence always and silence when phone is locked. I don't want either of these two options. I want my phone to ring! Please help!


iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

If Do Not Disturb is not turned on, it doesn't matter which if those two options is selected.


Some other things to check:


The ring/silent switch on the left side of the phone. See: How to put your iPhone on vibrate, ring, or silent mode - Apple Support


Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers: Detect and block spam phone calls - Apple Support
