Override for Volume off switch
How do I add a phone number to override my volume off button (so I can call my iPhone 12 Pro from the home (voip) phone to locate my 12pro)?
Thank you,

Hello AmRiver,
If a contact card is set up for the phone number in question, and Emergency Bypass is enabled for that contact, then this will bypass the Silent mode of the iPhone so that it rings. This page can help provide info on that: Allow or silence notifications for a Focus on iPhone - Apple Support
Allow calls from emergency contacts when notifications are silenced
You can allow sounds and vibrations from emergency contacts to come through even when your iPhone or notifications are silenced.
1. Open Contacts.
2. Select a contact, then tap Edit.
3. Tap Ringtone or Text Tone, then turn on Emergency Bypass.
4. Or, set up your Medical ID and identify an emergency contact.
If you're unable to access the device, but use iCloud Contacts you may try using another device to sync it, if accessible.
This page can also help provide info on locating a lost iPhone via Find My: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
Look for your device on a map
To find your device, sign in to iCloud.com/find. Or use the Find My app on another Apple device that you own.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn’t appear in the list of devices, Find My was not turned on. But you can still protect your account if Find My was not turned on.
Cheers.
