If a cellphone is not powered on, then it cannot ring. The callers may hear no ring at all or one or two rings before that call is transferred to voice-mail, if the user being called has voice-mail service.
There is an artificial ring is not generated by the receiver’s phone to indicate a call is being attempted, and that’s why it entirely depends on the carrier systems. So the caller may hear a message that the contact can’t be reached.
Does a Phone Ring If Blocked
Most network providers allow the user to block calls from specific numbers, while not usually informing the blocked individual about the same.
Android Phones
All android smartphones come with a text and call blocking feature. When you block someone from calling, you will not receive their calls anymore and won’t get any ring. All the calls from blocked numbers will be sent to the voicemail, while texts from those numbers won’t be delivered.
iPhones
On blocking a number, the blocked caller is directed straight to voicemail, which is also a hint for the caller that they have been blocked. The person can surely leave a voicemail, but the same won’t be displayed with your regular messages. Instead, you will have to scroll down to the bottom of your phone’s voicemail window and select the “Blocked Messages” tab.
As for the callers, you may imply that your number is blocked by someone if you hear a quick ring or no ring and your call directly transfers to voicemail. However, if the phone rings 3-4 time and then you hear the voicemail, you may not have been blocked yet and the person may simply be busy.
Does a Phone Ring if it has No Service
A phone will not ring if it has no service as it’s not able to connect to the carrier network. Often, if your phone is in a no-service area, a caller gets the voicemail message or hear the ‘out of network/cannot reach the person’ message depending on the specific region of the world. However, in some cases, when a network is unable to reach a cellphone due to some remote location with zero reception, the phone will ring for the caller very briefly. In that case, they can leave you a voicemail or simply send a text, which you will get when the phone gets its service back.
Can You Get Voice Mail if Phone is Dead
If your phone is dead or turned off, you can surely get a voicemail by the person calling, which you’ll receive when the phone is back on. Usually, the callers will be sent to voicemail if your phone is dead or not answered in 30 second. When the phone is dead, most network providers send a message to inform you that there is voicemail when you turn the phone on again. The exact working of the voicemail largely depends on the carrier.
Android Phones
Just like text messages, you can access voicemails on your android device after you charge it and turn it on. However, you can call your number from any VOIP, cell, home phone, or a traditional landline. When connected, you need to enter your cell number to allow the carrier to collect your voicemails from your inbox. If you have set up a voicemail pin set with your network provider, you are required to put it in with your number.
iPhones
You usually access all voicemails on your iPhone through the “Phone” application. However, if your phone’s battery dies, you can still access those messages using another mobile device or a landline phone by providing your voicemail pin. All the changes you make to your voicemails on calling from another device, including deleting any messages, will also be applied to your iPhone when you turn it on.
How to Find Missing Phone if Dead
Even if your phone is dead and it’s lost, you can still find it with a few measures.
Give the Phone’s Serial Number to Authorities
Look out for the receipts and packaging of your phone as they mention the unique serial number for your device. If you don’t have the package on hand, you can try retrieving the serial number from your phone vendor or the network provider. Further, report the serial number to the concerned authorities so they can try to recover the device.
