Hello Shermeen, I answer my phone all the time without benefit of any BlueTooth or attached headsets. I simply place the phone up to my ear and it works perfectly. I have never encountered the issues you have described. While I am currently using a 5 S, I have not encountered any difficulties on any of my previous devices, either.
It is possible that your proximity sensor could be malfunctioning. When you go to the Apple store, be sure to accept an incoming call so that the technicians can view how you hold your phone as you attempt to talk on it.

I'm interested to see if people other than Jose, another friend of mine, and me are having this problem. I will take a trip to the Apple store within the next week or so, but also wanted to see how common this experience is.
