To communicate with other people on my terms, when I want to communicate.
It's the same reason there are only a few phone numbers that can actually make my phone ring (my wife, the school my children attend, and pager duty (:P))
My device exists for my convenience.
- hollerith 9y ago>there are only a few phone numbers that can actually make my phone ring Could you describe briefly how to configure that state of affairs? What OS do you use?
- Spooky23 9y agoYou put iOS in DND mode and whitelist VIPs by starring them or putting them in a contact group.
- _tulpa 9y agoAndroid 7 (lineage/cyanogen at least) can do this. Settings>Sound>Do Not Disturb>Priority only allows You can limit notifications to starred contacts only for calls and also SMS, and then only star the contacts you want to allow.
- astura 9y agoIn Android Do Not Disturb mode can do this. You can set it to "priority only" and define who is the priority contacts. iOS should have a similar function.
- pjc50 9y agoPoor man's version of this: set your ringtone to a silent MP3, then apply custom tones to those people you actually want to hear.
- bemmu 9y agoYou can also make only some email messages cause notifications. Not sure if there's a better way for gmail, but the way I did it was to have a second gmail account, then create filters that send only important messages to that account. Then in the gmail app you can control notifications on a per-account level.
- Santzes 9y agoIf I remember correctly how I did this years ago, I made filters to label important messages with correct label and chose different notification (sounds at least) for those labels in gmail app.
