iphone 5 not ringing going straight to voicemail

A couple of things to try include:

• Reset the phone by holding the power and home buttons until you see the Apple logo the release.
• Try re-seating the sim card (open the tray and reinsert)
• Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset network settings.
• Have him call his carrier to see if the problem is at their end.

Ok now here's a thought.

It's an embarrassing one though.

I had exactly the same issues, dropping calls, going straight to VM etc.

Until the nice lady at Apple looked at my phone and said "how often do you use the DO NOT DISTURB" I said never.

oK well switch it off then.

Problem solved

I had this problem and could not find an answer on any forum online so I went into my settings and figured it out myself. The poster above is correct. It's the Do Not Distrub Feature in Settings.

I have an iphone 4 but I would imagine there are similiar settings on the iphone 5.

Settings>Do not disturb>Manual

make sure that manual is off

Settings>Do not disturb>Allow Calls From

set it to Everyone

Settings>Do not disturb>Repeated Calls

turn this on

It works.

✅ this works

Doh!

Thank you for posting. Same thing happened to me. I wonder whether that setting came on with an update.

My go-to remedy of turning the phone off and back on again worked for me, so far.

Thank you. Reset network settings did it!
