How do I turn off silent mode

According to DeviceHelp.optus: "1. Turn silent mode on or off

• To turn on silent mode:
  • Tap the lower part of the Volume key until the silent mode icon is displayed.
• To turn off silent mode:
  • Tap the upper part of the Volume key to select the required ring volume."

either your profile is silent or your volume is down. whenever your profile is in silent mode/vibrate mode even if someone is calling you it wont ring. change that to ringer via settings and sounds.

If you haven't tried this already, sometimes the simple silly old fall back of powering down the phone & removing the battery 30 secs, then powering back up will work wonders. If you haven't tried it yet I'd do it just to see if it helps

YOU CAN TURN SILENT MODE OFF BY JUST PUSHING THE UP ARROW FROM THE CLOCK SCREEN AND HOLDING IT DOWN UNTIL IT RELEASES SILENT MODE. TO TURN SILENT ON JUST DO THE SAME PUSHING THE DOWN ARROW.

To place the handset in Silent / Vibrate Mode
Step 1
To place the handset in Silent / Vibrate Only Mode, hold down the pound key (#) for about 2 seconds. To exit Silent / Vibrate Mode, perform the same action while in Silent / Vibrate Only Mode. You will see a confirmation message for Silent / Vibrate Only Mode, each time you enter or exit Silent / Vibrate Mode.
The SCH-U470 (Juke) handset will vibrate rather than ring when you receive a phone call, message or alert while in Silent Vibrate Only Mode.
Step 2
While in standby mode, press the volume key, located on the left side of the handset, then select either “Vibrate Only", “Alarm Only” or “All Sounds Off”. To disable perform the same action while in Silent / Vibrate Mode.
The SCH-U470 (Juke) handset will vibrate rather than ring when you receive a phone call, message or alert while in Silent / Vibrate Only Mode.

Press and hold down the # key on the keyboard until the phone changes from silent to ring mode. This also works for a fast switch from ringing to silent mode when going to a movie or something.

Check if your iPhone is not in silent mode. Push the Ring/Silent switch upwards to turn off silent mode. You'll know that the silent mode is not on when you don't see the small red dot at the Ring/Silent switch which is located just above the volume buttons.

Hi,

what you have to do is customize it as silent mode by turn the ringing volume down and turning the sounds off. this can be done in profiles.

please rate me. thank you.

All you have to do is hold the pound (#) button down. It will then say exit silent mode. If you ever want to put your phone back in silent mode, just hold the pound (#) button down.

you can actually move the button , on the top left hand side of your iphone, over the ringer volume, you will see a red or orange dot, this means the switch has you iphone in silent mode, I was stuck on this, until I found it is a actual switch, look at it closely, you can move it. So where you see the red dot, put your finger on it and move it the opposite way, and I do not mean press the button, I mean, flip the switch on it, then your phone will not be in silent mode anymore,,, this was very annoying, I hope it helps anyone that has the same problem.
cheers!
