Q: iPhone 6 plus does not ring

I am missing calls because my phone does no longer ring.

 

It is NOT in silent mode (switch in the non-red position), it is NOT in airplane mode, it is NOT in "do not disturb" mode.

 

Ringer is to a medium value.

 

It just doesn't ring. Why?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.1, 64 Gb

    TThis happens to me ALL the time but only when I am at work. do you happen to have AT&T? I do. I fixed the problem by going to settings-cellular and then turning LTE completely off. Yes, my phone is on 4G now, but 99.99% of the calls come through. Only time it seems to happen now is if I have the phone in the top of my pants against my skin for some reason. I do that on days my pants don't have pockets. People might tell you to switch it to data only, but I ran many tests and that didn't work either. It was better, but not enough. My work is like a black hole and lte just doesn't seem to work there. On data only, it doesn't make the switch to lte fast enough. Does it only happen to you in one location? Try turning lte off. Please let me know if this works. And dont bother calling AT&T. They just give you the run around. Been dealing with them on something else for 4 months now with no resolution.

    Happened to me again today, but the phone was in my pocket. They all seem to come through if the phone sits on my desk. With lte on voice, they never come through When I am at work though, so this is still better than nothing.
