Here's how to actually "solve" this problem on an iPhone:

- Pay $1.99 to buy a silent ringtone from the ringtone store.

- Make that your default ringtone.

- Give everyone who you want to be able to call you an audible ringtone.

>- Pay $1.99 to buy a silent ringtone from the ringtone store.

I would refuse to do that on principle.

You can make your own Ringtones on the iPhone, you don't need to pay for them on the Ringtone Store.

Well then make your own. If your time it takes to do so is worth less than $1.99, then your principles will have saved you money.

This doesn't really do what I want.

- Phone calls still come in and take over the phone

- I can't use vibrate anymore? Now I have to use audible rings?

You can put your phone on do not disturb and allow calls from <group>

Unfortunately, I don't _think_ this propagates to other Apple devices that are set to alert you to incoming calls. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this).

iPhones still take up the whole screen when a call comes in however.

[platetone]

still would vibrate, right? but this is a really clever idea...

You can totally disable vibrate on ring.
