How do i turn off silencing completely? the two options are always, and when phone is locked. there has got to be a better way to turn it off and back on. I am missing important calls and my phone doesn't ring / shows calls as Silenced even when my phone is unlocked. This clearly isn't working properly. I have spent quite a bit of time trying to fix this issue. Mark

On the Do Not Disturb page - There should be a universal Do Not Disturb switch which can be set to OFF. See image below and ensure that the switch is set to OFF. Once it is OFF then the options below it do not matter and are not active.
Also, did you review point number 4 in my previous response related to Silence Unknown Callers? I was not talking about Allow Calls from Everyone (Which is only active when Do Not Disturb is set to ON).
Check to see that Silence Unknown Callers is set to OFF. Open Settings ➔ Phone ➔ Silence Unknown Callers : Set this to OFF

Those options, ALWAYS or WHILE iPHONE IS LOCKED, are only active when Do Not Disturb is set to ON. If Do Not Disturb is OFF then those options are inactive and are not doing anything.
There is something else going on if you are missing calls even when your iPhone is unlocked. Below are a few things to check.
