You can do it via Control Centre (swipe up from bottom of screen). In Control Centre - just touch the quarter moon symbol to turn it on or off.

Of course I have tried that. And it is off in the Control Centre, but still lighted and blocking incoming calls!

Try resetting the phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Check your settings in Settings>Do Not Disturb Set manual and scheduled both to OFF then try turning off/on from Control Centre

To reset or turn off your scheduled Do Not Disturb function:
Settings Notifications
Do Not Disturb
Set slider to OFF, or
Reschedule changes in selections provided

*Note: you won't be able to make the Do Not Disturb changes without entering via the Settings: Notifications: Do Not Disturb first. The Settings: Do Not Disturb radio button is for manual ON/OFF only.

Cheers! It frustrated me too ;).

Yeah Jozo22, I know what you are talking about. All these steps do not seem to work after the phone is locked and the screen goes black. Calls just get sent to voice mail after 2 rings....It's got to be an IOS 7 problem. I'm considering doing a system restore and reloading the IOS. Anyone figure this problem out yet? I'm probably gonna go to the apple store today and see what they can do.
I have and Iphone 5 by the way, not S or C.

Looked this site first for the answer but no luck until I found another site. Go to settings->general-> accessibilit-> turn assistive touch on when menu pops up hit the iPhone device option and turn it to unmute then you will be able to receive calls even when phone is locked! Then you can switch assistive touch back off and you are good to go!
