Does your cellphone have this feature?

[marcipaans]

Isn't this like the basic thing for a telephone? You kids with your uber-saw phones.

I push a certain button on my cellphone, and it kills a man.

Maybe thats what the button on mine I can't figure out does.

If so, I've killed like a million people.

Dude Hatashi just geniused all over this thread.

am I the only one that loled at this?

It's a bit of a workabout, but I have a possible solution.

Most cellphones can put custom ringtones to your different contacts.
So you just give actual ringtones to the ones you want to hear, while omitting ringtones to the ones you don't want to hear. If there is no silent, no-sound ringtone, just make a ringtone(wav/mp3/midi that doesn't contain any sounds), and assign it to the people you don't want to hear.

EDIT: Damn, I was too late.

[Oisterman]

Haha, yeah...thats the trouble though, I just don't want to hear them at night, ya know? I don't wanna have to switch my customized ringtones daily

There should be some kind of temporary setting for this.

[Oisterman]

I was hoping I wasn't the only one who was confused there.

[marcipaans]

Now we have a mystery to solve gang

[Zaadis]

Wow, I'm impressed by that fact that your phone DOESN'T have that feature. It almost seems like a must have in phones.

I don't know how old your phone is, but if what your getting is a brand spanking new phone, I wouldn't worry about it.

The easiest solution I can think of:

Tell Persons A, B, and D not to send you stuff in the middle of the night (except in case of emergency), or you'll punch them in the face.

[Bad Hamster]

I hate one thing about all the phones I've ever had.

Lets say I have person A,B,C and D in my phone. Persons A,B and D are always sending me stupid chain letters and junk like that. If Person A,B or D woke me up in the night, I would be really pissed.

However, I am good friends with person C, and have missed out on a few occasions because I keep my phone on silent at night time.

I want the phone to ring for person C, but NOT for person A,B or D.

Do any of your phones have a special custom ring like this? Because no phone I've ever had has had this feature...and it seems like its such a basic feature that they should ALL have it >

You don't have the option to choose either ringtone or silent for that person??

[Oisterman]

Eh, the phone I have now is really crappy. I only originally got it for using texts, nothing else...then my plan changed and for $5 more, I could get unlimited internet and 300 minutes

Now I have to get a new phone haha. It'll be that Samsung Intercept I mentioned.

Well everything is better then a samsung wackberry (samsung c6625). They gave me this crappy thing after my iphone 3g few years back...

[marcipaans]

Nokia all the way. Best phone ever.
I got Nokia E51 for 2 years now and I cannot complain.



Previously used Nokia 6233 and served me well for 4-5 years. Was forced to change though to a little more "trendy" phone and some vital features :P

[Oisterman]

I'm very limited because I'm on Virgin Mobiles network.

[marcipaans]

Stuff is working differently there for you probably. Here you buy any phone you want then you just choose which operator you like

[Boxxy]

i have the droid eris and it has a feature to stop calls from certain people at certain times

i have everyone on silent midnight to 5am but family or other important calls i don't want to miss

[power_gamer_6]

Recording a sound may help.

Be in a room with silence, and record for 5 seconds.
Save it and assign the ring tone to A, B, and whatever you want to ignore.

So, when they call, there will be a ring tone, that can't be heard.

Room tone. Your plan = flawed.

[Eplison]

I can do this with my palm pre,
I can set custom ringtones or vibrates for every contact in my phone. There are even ways to set up modes, so say if its charging up, it will automatically set the people you hate getting texts from to silent or vibrate...or at least I think you can, I'm too lazy to set most of those up.
