IPhone 5 does not ring WHEN RECIEVING A TEXT?

I bought this iPhone a week ago but whenever I get a text or iMessage, the alert noise does not sound.

This is not the same with calls. Calls are as normal.

Ok so on the left hand side look along the side there should be a small button not the volume buttons but a different one switch it to the different way it should work

Where you set your call tone right underneath there's a text tone option. You need to set this to a tone for it to sound. Hope this helps x

  • Why does my iPhone ring when I didn't actually receive a text? It happens sometimes, my iPhone will ring as if I got a text, and then I check my inbox but I don't have any new texts. Does this happen to anyone else?
  • Why does my iphone not ring only vibrate? Also some apps have no sound. Do you think its the mute button is jammed but then again it says its on ringer.
  • Why does my iphone not ring only vibrate? - 1 The mute button is not on, all the options are fine… I really don't know what it is. Also i reset it and everything. Maybe the mute button is jammed but then again i can hear other stuff like when you go in options to pick your ringtone.
  • Recieving text messages from unknown callers? Simply saying, "Hey." it has happened a few times in the past as well. My phone is an iphone and is fairly new from last December if that helps. So who are these people? Is it safe to open the message so long as you don't reply? I accidently went to the message, and hope that no one is currently hacking my phone.
