Lurker
Hello,
I am looking for a app that will allow me to silence my phone ( ringer, sms and email notifications) BUT.. allow me to have a WHITE LIST of numbers that I want to allow to ring thru anytime even if I have my ringer off. I just cant find one on the play store. I really need to find something because of my work and I need to be able to allow my office and call center to be able to reach me even if my phone is on silent. Everyone else can be silent so I can sleep. Any advice? I am running 4.0.4 ice cream sandwich..
 
I use an app called Setting Profile that I think will do what you are wanting. It lets you create rules that trigger actions. I just checked and you can make a rule for contact groups. You then would create an action to turn on the ringer volume when you get a call from a number in the group.

I haven't use it for this, but it should work.
 
I checked and this does work, but with the way my profiles are setup I had to tweak the rules to get it to work right. Also, I noticed that you don't have to make contact groups, and it lets you choose individual contacts.

I normally have it set for no ringer or notifications at night. Your post got me thinking that it would be good to have calls from family ring through in case of emergency. So now it's set up to do so.
