Have you ever wished your iPhone would ring only when certain people call? Here’s how to do it:
- Download the “Silence” ringtone here: silence.m4r
- Copy this file into the Ringtones section of your iTunes. (Click to enlarge.)
- Sync your iPhone with iTunes to load the ringtone.
- On your iPhone, change your ringtone to “Silence” (under Settings -> Sounds -> Ringtone). You’ll no longer hear your phone calls.
- For each person whose calls you still want to hear, change his or her Custom Ringtone to something audible: Click the name in your contact list, choose Ringtone, then choose something besides Default
Now you can screen calls in your sleep. Because Sunday afternoons are for napping.

There are several organizations where I’d just rather not ever hear their rings (political or charitable organizations that want yet more money, companies which I have business with but don’t want to buy anything additional from, etc.)
I’ve created a contact called “IGNORE”, and add multiple organizations to the phone fields. (of course sometimes an organization won’t have just have one number they call from – doesn’t work for all situations)
Since I’ve assigned your slient ringtone to “IGNORE” I’ve been blessed with never having them annoy me. (and then I chuckle to myself when I notice later that IGNORE is in my missed call list.
Mwhahahahah!
