Text alerts are muted on some of my friends phones

99% of the time I get an alert when somebody sends me a text. But there are few contacts where I don't get an alert and only by checking my messages can I tell that they texted me. And Before their message is read by Voice Over, it says muted. So I know they have to do something to unmute their texts. But I can't remember how to explain to them how to unmute their alerts. Suggestions?

Edward, If that is true, why do I get alerts on some people's message and not others. There isn't a way for me to silence alerts on some conversations and not others. That's why I think its on their end to enable text alerts.

You were right. Although I don't ever remember muting the people whom are now unmuted. According to responses in Google, this was a bug in earlier iOS releases.
