Ringing my wife's phone when on silent

My wife and I are connected via find my phone under People but recently she lost her phone and I was trying to get it to ring but could not do so by simply dialing it. I was trying to figure out is there any way to add it to my list of devices so it would ring but cannot seem to do it. Fortunately in this case I had access to her iPad and was able to ring it for her so she could find it. There should be a way to use my phone to ring it even if on silent.
