Bill, of course you're right. It's a switch not a button and your instructions like a couple of others posted had the right words to make it clear just what to do to make it work. Next time, I'll communicate better with the phone rep to make sure I'm understanding the directions.

I think of a button as something you push down/in on to activate (or deactivate). I'd say this is more of a "toggle switch" in that when it sits in one position one feature is activated and when placed in its' opposite position it activates a somewhat opposite feature. - Hold the phone up in front of you with the display facing you and the Home Button at the bottom. - The toggle switch will be on the left side near the top; able to rock toward and away from you; toward you will permit normal ringing and other sounds, positioned away from you will silent the ringer and other sounds. ---------------- Holland's Person, Bill - "Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?" - George Carlin, 1937 - 2008 From: Alan Lemly <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 08, 2013 7:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: iPhone 5 Button Question I got my new iPhone 5 yesterday and am making sure everything functions properly. The Finger Tips guide states that the phone has a Ring/Silent button on the top left-side above the volume up and down buttons. I feel this button but can't for the life of me get it to move. It does not seem to depress or slide that I can tell. How does this button work for others who have iPhone 5's. Am I not doing something right or is it possible this button is defective on my new phone? Thanks for any assistance with this.
