Don't assume i didn't read it. I always read the manual. ALWAYS when I first get something. But as I said, there's a LOT of information to absorb at first. This time without knowing what the problem was, I wouldn't have known to even look for a forgotten switch that I never even saw on my iPhone. I'd have wasted a good part of the day re-reading it and hoping I'd stumble on an answer. You have to know it's even there to look it up. SO... it seemed like a "settings" problem.
I never said you didn't read it. I just suggested that new users should do so.
There are only five physical button/switches on the phone: Ringer/Silent Switch, Two Volume Buttons, A Sleep/Wake Button, and a Home Button. With all due respect, I'm at a loss as to understand why it was difficult to remember one of these five buttons.
Also, the manual is searchable, and you can click on internal links to quickly navigate. Simply typing 'sound' in the search field brings up: 31 Sounds and silence
Which if you click on it, takes you directly to the relevant information that resolves this issue.
