Hi,

What indication do you get when you call the number of the phone from another phone?

Have you set the phone to "silent" or mute"?

Have you checked the ringtone Volume level?

Can you make an o/g call OK?

Have you checked that you are not in airplane mode?

Have you proved that the loudspeaker works by playing music? (This speaker is the one used for the ringtone)

Have you checked that you have selected a ringtone?

What is the model number of the phone?

What have you tried?

janetstelnicki , It could be a software/App issue and a hard/factory reset may be what is needed. You can select your ZTE Phone model from the link below for instruction to hard reset it. Hard Reset will erase all of your data, back up info. prior unless it does not matter. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

Why my phoned not ringing

by

I Rebooted mine and its fixed

The restart works to reinstate the ringing sounds.. but the problem returns and you dont know the phone call noise is not working until you have missed some calls. Anyone ideas on a permanent fix? You can tell if its not working by trying to change the ring tone. If is working you can a preview of the ringtone. If its not - you do not get a a preview sound.

Try hard start, that is how CC told me but they seemed surprised over this problem, hold button down and will go off, then start and ringer volume is back, but I kept watching volume okay, just did again, still working will call again tomorrow. Check ringer in swings under Sound.
