Q: Can iPhone ring when locked?

My phone won't ring when locked. Can this be changed?  Settings/ Do Not Disturb only gives me two choices under the "Silence" heading:  "Always", or "Only while iPhone is locked". I am unable to remove it.  Is it possible to elect neither?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

    You da' man!!  This worked for me as well, even after I went back in and turned "Assistive Touch" off.

    This seems to be a bug of the silence button. After you turn it off and turn it back on (red hidden), you would have to

    go to settings and unlock the sound as following:

    settings--> sound-->lock sound

    turn it off, and then turn it on.

    The sound will come back.

    I missed a month of my incoming calls before I finally figure out the problem.

    All that setting does is turn on or off the sound the button makes when you lock or unlock the phone. It has nothing to do with Do Not Disturb, ringtones or any other sound. While it's great that your phone is now working properly, that's most likely not the reason.

    Thank you.  You nailed it.  Grandchildren play with phone and must have pushed on mute button.
