Hi, I’m currently looking to see if there is a way for me to use my phone while being on silent however I have recently become oncall with an emergency response and will be notified by phone however I don’t want my phone going nuts with everyone else when they message me. I just want an easy way to be notified during the night preferably.. something that will wake me up

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

Hello,

You could use Do Not Disturb and put your emergency-response number in your Favorites (remove the other numbers in Favorites). Then the only calls that would come through would be your emergency-response calls. All other calls and texts would be silenced. See this link for more detail:

Good luck.
