"Why didn't you answer your I phone?"
"It didn't ring"

Sure enough, it doesn't ring.

Went through every single menu, discover hundreds of combinations of 'I
don't want this phone to ring' and turn them all off.

It still doesn't ring.

two and half hours later I google "My ****ing i-phone won't ring"


The switch on the side to mute the phone is one of its best features.
Extremely user-friendly. Of course I read the manual when I first used
the phone, which is only sensible. There's a very good user guide on the
phone as well.

No there isn't any manual
On or off the phone.


Bought both ours 2nd hand so no manual, the volume controls and mute
switch are fairly obvious and were about the first items found when
looking at them.
Surprised that you did not try some fingerpoken on any controls
first or have both your neighbour and yourself got so conditioned to
software controlled devices that trying anything like a physical
button to see what it does no longer comes naturally.

Perhaps you had better become the Unnatural Philosopher.

Sure your neighbour wasn't looking for an excuse not to experience
your cooking?
