iPhone doesn't ring

I can not get my new iphone to ring when someone calls me. It vibrates, but does not ring. I have changed ring tones and everything I can find in settings. It shows the caller that I have call forwarding on, but I have set that to off.

MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Couple of troubleshooting ideas that others have suggested in the various threads of this forum:

1. Check the silent ring switch on the upper left side of the iPhone. Flick it on and off a few times and then leave it in the up position in relation to the screen.

2. Take your apple buds and rapidly plug/unplug them multiple times...sometimes the iPhone thinks you still have them plugged in and you kind of have to reset the port.

3. Do a soft reset by holding down the sleep and home button together...hold until the apple logo reappears.

4. Last thing to do is a restore using iTunes...insure that you sync first. Save any pictures in your camera roll to the computer as they do not back up and notes also will not back up. Everything else will back up except you will have to re-enter your passwords and reconnect to your wifi.

Good Luck!

this is why apple needs to put an indicator on the display that says the phone is on silent. I always forget that I have to look at the switch on the side. Maybe its just something we need to get used to, but all previous mobile devices have had some sort of visual indication on the display alerting the user that silent mode has been engaged.

I'll suggest this apple, incase it hasn't yet already been done.
