I want to mute all sounds and alerts except for my alarm so I don't get bothered by sounds all night long. How do I do that?

To switch between ring and silent mode: Flip the Ring/Silent switch on the side of iPhone. When set to silent, iPhone doesn’t play any ring, alert, or effects sounds. It does,however, play alarms set using Clock.

Hey Jim, it doesn't mute the vibrate mode so if he iphone is sitting on the night stand, you'll still get that happening with incoming messages, etc. Any suggestions?

I think I figured it out. I have to also set the vibrate switch in settings' silent mode to off. Thanks for your help!
