Phone randomly not receiving phone calls

Ditto. It seems to be related to wi-fi I only seem to be missing calls when wi-fi is enables.
 
I tried everything I could think of today including a clean install and I still didn't receive random calls. Odd part is that if I called my phone and it didn't go through the first time it would work without fail on the second call.

I know I have do not disturb off but the repeat calls setting states "when enabled, a second call from the same person within three minutes will not be silenced". Perhaps it could be some type of glitch or maybe I'm just driving myself crazy looking possible causes?

Anyway, I have decided to revert back to beta 2 for the time being and it hasn't happened since. Beta 2 doesn't expire until aug 8th so hopefully it is resolved by beta 4 or better yet a fix is found before then

Interesting theory. I'm often on Wi-Fi so it's hard to isolate that. I guess I can turn off WI-Fi for a day or so and see if I still experience any non-delivered calls. Still, the fact that majority of people posting about this issue being on Verizon also seems somewhat interesting.

Most of the time if I call myself it will go through on the fist try (once in a while it won't but usually it will).
 
Ya. I am on vzw as well. I did a full restore this afternoon to see if that will help with the battery life (it did in b2) so will see if I still have the issue.

It seems to be wi-fi related (could be pipe dreaming) but not let us know how it pans out for you.
 
Do a soft reboot and triple check DoNot Disturb is off. Had the exact same issue with Beta 2, and it was DND kept turning on. One call would hear nothing, call right back and it rings. Its a DND issue.

Definitely not DND related here as it's off for sure when it happens (and I've even tried enabling and disabling it manually as well just to make sure even more).

I am getting a similar problem. Sometimes when I get a call I answer and it becomes 2 phone calls with the same person but there's no sound. The person on the other line told me later that the call was going straight to voicemail.
I am not with Verizon

Im getting the exact same thing.... definitely nothing to do with DND or WIFI. Went back to Beta 2 and everything works fine.. ill just stay out of Beta 3 for the time being..
 
Just had a buddy try for me and same thing. No notification until I got the voicemail. Verizon iPhone 5 for me.
 
I am on Rogers in Canada and most the time calls come in and my ringer is not working and its not on do not disturb. Also when I answer the call it shows the same call is on hold so its like having 2 calls on my phone and it even gives me the option to switch between callers. Also the person on the other end cannot here me too. This is random as sometimes calls come in and works fine with sound of my ring tone. But the issue I am having receiving calls is on most calls so I decided to downgrade to IOS7 2 as I cannot live with not receiving calls.

I tried a fresh install and same problem again calls come in silent and or show as 2 calls once I answer and the person on the other end cannot hear me. So far I have found no solution to this issue. Downgrading again back to IOS7 Beta 2

I've got a Verizon 4S and I have the same problem. Calls aren't being delivered. Doesn't matter if my phone is locked or unlocked. I'd say that probably 75% of the calls aren't being delivered.
I tried doing a clean install on b3 and that didn't help. Then I tried going down to 6.1.3 then up to beta 2 and then an OTA up to b3 and that didn't fix the problem. This is the first deal breaker I've had with running the beta's so now I'm back at 6.1.3 until beta 4 comes out.
 
I would go down to Beta 2 until Beta 4 comes out in 2 weeks. This was the way I fixed the problem of not getting some calls. Unless someone figures out a fix I will stick with my solution for now.

Same thing here on Verizon iPhone 5. Looking forward to beta 4.

Exact same problem and symptoms. Did you find any fix yet Jeff
 
Called my Vzw 4S, wasn't locked, DND off, not on WiFi. Didn't ring once. Went straight to voicemail.
 
I've been having an issue of my phone ringing from people in my contacts yet when I pick it up there is someone else on the line and sound confused.

I'll call that person back and ask if they called and they'll tell me they did but it just kept ringing and didn't even go to voicemail. It happened once when my mom called me except she got someone else on her end and I got someone else on my end.

Good lord that's a problem.
 
I tested on my wife's phone as mine is downgraded to IOS7 version 2 and erasing all the favourites does not work. Hope someone else finds a solution so I can upgrade again to version 3


Cheers
