I work third shift so I sleep during the day but I get calls all day long so I shut my ringer off. I would like to be able to set a couple phone numbers that can ring through no matter what. Using Google Voice to do this won't work because I get calls directly to my cell # as well as to Google Voice.
Answer
The Setting Profiles app can do that. From their site:
What if I don’t want to miss an important call while I’m on mute?
You can overwrite current sound settings with a rule based on Incoming Call condition. Here is how to:
- Create a new rule
- Add Incoming Call condition and set it to your preferred contacts group (like VIP or Family)
- Add Activate Profile action to activate the profile where sound is On and/or some custom ring tone specified
That’s it! Now even if your phone is set to mute, it will still ring in case of a call from someone from Contact Group you have set up in step two.
They currently have two versions of the app - a Lite and Full. I would try the Lite version to see if it has this feature first.
