How to silence iPhone?

Hi,

As we all know the mute switch only mutes SOME things (great design Apple 😟 ).

What is the best way to actually force it to shut the **** up no matter what?

Do I have to turn it off?

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1

This problem isn't solved yet? Well, the way to silence all alerts is to use "Do Not Disturb mode" go to Notifications in settings and tap to turn on "Do Not Disturb" this should silence all notifications and doesn't show on the screen when alerts arrive. Give it a try and tell me if this helps your sittuation.

We already established that alarms still sound. That's what alarms are for. If you don't want an alarm to go off, don't set one.

That is not what you said in your imediately prevous message. You said "No sounds go through", I merely responded to that.
