gk10002000 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I know how to set ringtones and volume for specific callers. What I would like is a way for me to be able to be woken up or have my phone ring ONLY if certain people call. I don't leave my phone on at night because of the random telemarketers, wrong numbers, etc. that call in and would wake me. But there are certain numbers I want to always accept.

mxyzptlk Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) It depends on the phone you have. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Duos and it has a "blocking mode" feature where it can block all calls & notifications except for those numbers on an "allowed call list" which you specify. It can block for a pre-defined time period which you can set. Edited November 19, 2015 by mxyzptlk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the hint. Just checked: I have another Samsung Android with the same feature. Haven't gone into such details until now, but quite interesting, as I usually simply switch off during the night when at home with the "loved ones".

IMA_FARANG Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I've seen such things done with a private PBX system in an office, but such a thing would probably be too expensive to install in a home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use the "blocking mode" feature...I switch to silent mode and don't take the phone into the bedroom when I go to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Morozov Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Stock feature on newer Android - "Do not disturb" -> "Priority only". You mark the contacts as priority in the phonebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
