If you hold the phone horrizontally with the screen flat in front of you, the switch you are talking about is the mute switch. Push it down to mute the phone, that is to say toward the underside of the phone. To unmute the phone push the switch up, toward the screen of the phone. I had the same issue at first with my first iphone.

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.
