If you do not see this option

• Phone vibrates on calls? Vibrate on ring, just below the Ring, Vibrate and Silent buttons, was on on ours.
• Volume buttons? Volume button function said Media volume on ours.

If this does not work

• No sound for calls? Check the top buttons say Ring, and that Do Not Disturb is off.
• Own ringtone missing? Look under On this device.
