I purchased a new iPhone 12 earlier this year and everything is working just fine. I decided to keep my iPhone 7 for playing games, answering my emails, getting on the web and oddly enough I can still text on my iPhone 7 which confuses me because I don't have any phone coverage.

what can I change in settings or turn off so that my iPhone 7 will not ring?

On your iPhone 12 look in Settings > Phone, then go to Calls on Other Devices. You should see the iPhone 7 listed and have the option to turn off.

Why would you want to do that? With no WiFi and no Cellular, that 7 is pretty much isolated from anything. Just remove it from the list on the 12 and it won't ring.
