Hi, I'm using iPhone4S and have a question regarding to selective muting incoming calls. To be more specific, I want to mute all incoming calls except from certain contacts. How can I do that? Thanks
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4
Do Not Disturb is a good idea, and then either arrange for Contact Favorites or Select Contact Groups or lists of specific users.
Settings -> Notifications -> Do Not Disturb -> Allow Calls From
Another approach is to find a "Silent" ringtone (Google). Install the Silent ringtone and set it as your default. Also set a no vibration as the default. Now for each contact where you want to phone to ring, you can give them an explicit ringtone and vibration.
The Do Not Disturb would most likely be easier to configure and maintain, but I figured I would offer the Silent ringtone option as well.

goto settings>phone>Blocked and clcick "Add new", then add the contacts you want to block.
Note: this will not mute the call, it will send the call direct to voicemail, you won't know when the contact actually called, Messages will be blocked as well.
The Do Not Disturb settings should help with this.
