I do not get phone or text alerts

[Android Central Question]

How do I get my phone to ring and text to alert?

 

[ManiacJoe]

Which phone?
Which version of android?
Which carrier?

Is the phone in Do-Not-Disturb mode?
Is the sound system in "sound" mode, not "vibrate" or "silent" modes?

Do you get a silent notification in the notification bar, or no notification at all?
