why does my iphone 6 not ring, it only vibrates

incoming calls are missed because the phone only vibrates, why doesn't it ring also? How can I set it up to ring and vibrate?

Re: why does my iphone 6 not ring, it only vibrates

Check the switch on the left side of your device just above the volume buttons and make sure it's not showing any Red. That is the Mute switch and most likely your problem.

Thank u, It works, my iphone was in mute mode... I was feeling desperate thinking that i have to reset to factory setting ... 


Don't feel bad. I've now done that three times since having my phone. I've decided to use the DND feature instead of that mute button, because dag-nabbit I'm old and keep forgetting that button is there lol.

Boy, I sure don't know how that 'do not disturb' was activated, but this post was a lifesaver! Thank you!!!! I could NOT find out where the settings had been messed up. Nicely done!!
