Yes, you can receive calls in sleep mode, assuming your device's sleep mode refers to the screen being off but the phone itself is powered on. Most smartphones are designed to allow calls and messages to break through sleep mode, ensuring you don't miss important communications. However, if you’re not receiving calls, check your Do Not Disturb settings or any app-specific settings that might be silencing incoming calls. This ensures your phone remains fully functional for critical communications even when the screen is off.
