Hi, This sounds exactly like the mute switch is active like others have mentioned. On the left side of all iPhones, just above the volume up button, there is a physical slider switch. Slide the switch towards the face of the iPhone to have all sounds for Ring-tones, Messages and other alerts active. Slide the switch towards the back of the iPhone to mute these alert sounds. If vibration is turned on, the vibration alerts will still occur but those ring-tones, Message alerts and other alert sounds will remain silent. It's sort of like "Manner Mode" on older flip-phones. When VoiceOver is turned on, all regular speech will happen including VoiceOver announcing incoming calls but the sound effects will be silent. Also, when VO is on, when this slider switch is slid to the "Mute" position, VoiceOver will announce "Muted". If you have an iPhone cover like the OtterBox, there is a flap that you must pull back in order to access this slider switch.
