If you have an alarm set in the built in clock app, it will always sound, regardless of whether you have it in DND mode, the mute switch on, etc. The only thing that will prevent it from sounding is completely powering the phone off.

I'm not sure I understand your other question. If you're not using a schedule for DND, and you turn it on, it will kick in whenever the phone is in standby (screen asleep). If the phone was still awake, then that would explain why another text came through.

Thanks for first part, the other part was the schedule mode is switched off and not really relevant just letting people know it was so was more informative .. The real question was my girlfriend phoned me up when I had dnd on which was fine cap I allowed for that when I put contacts only but when I put the phone back down after her call I fell asleep and a random text woke me I thought I would have had to switch dnd off for it to not work but just answering a contact seems to deactivate it . I think I have to click the top button after any call in this mode for dnd to activate seemed odd though am I right

You have to put the phone in standby, if that's what you're referring to, yes. Or it has to have time to go into standby itself before another call or text comes through.
