Make sure the phone is not on silent. Check the Mute switch on the side of the phone to make sure it is on Ring. When you have the phone unlocked and on the home screen, you can raise the Ringer volume by pressing the volume up button, and you should see an indicator that it is raising the volume on the home screen. You can also access Settings>Sounds & Haptics>Ringtone and Alerts, and check the volume there. You will also need to have Change with Buttons turned on to be able to change the ringtone volume with the buttons.

One other thing to note is that the ringtone volume will be low when you are looking directly at your screen and have an incoming call. This is part of the Attention Aware Feature of the iPhone. When the iPhone has your attention while you are looking at the screen (typing, reading websites or working with an app), then it automatically reduces the sound because it knows you are looking right at it so no need to issue loud notifications.

You can turn this feature off if you want by opening Settings ➡️ Accessibility ➡️ Face ID & Attention ➡️ Attention Aware Feature set this to OFF.
