Did a few searches, but did not find the answer I am looking for.. only found for MMS / SMS.
When someone calls and I dont have my phone close enough to hear it ring, I dont know that someone called. I am forced to physically check the phone each time I a near it to see if I missed any calls. I missed an important biz call yesterday and a voicemail was sitting on my phone for 3 hours before I decided to make a call and noticed one was there.
All my past phones will beep letting me know a call is missed. I can see where I can configure repeat notices for text messages, but not where to set it up for missed phone calls.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance.

No, you didnt - Apple missed something obvious. And after two years still havent remedied this.

With previous phones, all Ive ever had was a single audible alert and the tape symbol in the top corner if Ive got a voicemail. If I was nowhere near my phone at the time, Id still be forced to look at it, just as I would with the iPhone.

The iPhone is my first phone in the smart phone category. Most of the previous dumb phones Ive used included an audible alert after a missed call indicating there was a missed call with no on/off option for the audible alert, which I didnt like much. This forced me to manually handle the phone to turn the audible alert off.
If Apple decides to add such an audible alert with a firmware update, which I understand is important to some, I sure hope there is an on/off option for the alert that doesnt force me to manually handle the iPhone to turn the alert off.
