iphone 6, Sprint.
Not really a question, just venting a bit. Lately about 75% of my calls and texts never alert [and no, the silencer slide switch is not on]. Often I'll just go to check the time and find I have a bunch of missed calls and texts, never alerted.
I tried calling myself, sometimes it goes straight to voicemail, other times it will ring. Had a friend try while I was there, same thing.
More than just annoying, I'm involved in a large construction project right now and am on short call, I almost missed the chance for a weekend of work making well over $1,000, caught my BA just as he was about to call someone else, and I had the damn phone on my hip the whole time, never peeped and were it not for me checking the time and see I missed a call I would have been screwed.

Don't know if its a sprint issue or the phone, haven't called sprint yet. In over 12 years with them and half a dozen phones, this has never happened. The calls are going through, just not alerting so it seems to me might be a phone issue. Just odd how sometimes they go through, most times they don't.
Tried it just now, 1st call went straight to voicemail, 2nd one went through.

I'm with Verizon and while not as much as you I get the same thing, maybe 2 calls a day.
