Allowing private calls in sleep mode

Hi, I need to allow private calls from the hospital during sleep mode as I am a midwifery student and am on call for births.

Can I allow this using focus mode?

Thanks in advance!

iPhone 11, iOS 17

Hello LauraApple24, If you have the Hospital number that would be used to call you, then In Settings > Focus > Sleep > You can add a number by pressing the + that is above Add People OR

Under "PHONE CALLS" "Allow Calls From" select Favorites and add the Hospital number as a Contact Favorite.

In your iPhone Contacts add the Hospital number if you haven't already done so, then scroll down in that contact name to where it says " Add to favorites" and click. To confirm that the number is added to your Favorites in your Contact list look for the hospital name contact and you should see a RED Star to the far Right of the name.

Now your Sleep Focus should allow the call to go through.
