1. Check Do Not Disturb and Focus Modes: Ensure that Do Not Disturb or any Focus mode isn't enabled, which can silence calls and notifications

Go to Settings > Focus and check if any modes are active.

Ring/Silent Switch: Make sure the physical ring/silent switch on the side of your iPhone isn't set to silent.

Check Notification Settings: Verify that notifications are enabled for calls and messages.

Go to Settings > Notifications and check the settings for Phone and Messages.
