hi,
As I understand do not disterb, it's just easier to put folks you want to
ring through in your favorites. This seems kind of round about to me.
Sincerely,

How to Keep Your iPhone Silent Except for Specific Contacts
Posted: 27 May 2015 01:56 PM PDT
It's a bit more detailed and confusing than it should be, so this guide will
take you every single step of the way through creating a "contact group" -
which will allow you to add one or more specific contacts that will not be
muted when you set your iPhone to "Do Not Disturb" (silent mode). Here goes!
1.
First things first, you're going to need to set up iCloud if you haven't
yet. Apple has great instructions on how to do it. If you're thinking "oh
no, not iCloud" - don't worry. This is a "set it and forget it" thing. If
you've already setup iCloud, jump to step #2.
2.
Tap Settings
3.
Scroll down to iCloud and tap it.
4.
Toggle Contacts to "ON" if it's OFF
5.
Now launch your browser of choice, and visit https://www.icloud.com. If
you're prompted to sign in with your Apple ID and Password, do so.
6.
Locate Contacts and click it.
7.
What you're going to do is create a new Group - which you can put certain
contacts 'into', and contacts in that Group will always cause your phone to
ring/vibrate, even when set to "Do Not Disturb".
Click the "plus sign" ( + ) in the bottom corner of the iCloud Contacts
menu.
8.
Select New Group
9.
Give your "group" a name. I opted for Family, since the people I will be
putting in my "always ring" list are family members.
10.
Now simply "drag and drop" names from your Contact List into your new group
(see screenshot below).
11.
Back on your iPhone, launch the Contacts app again, and tap Groups from the
top left corner.
12.
In the iCloud section, make sure your new Group is selected.
13.
Now return to the iPhone Settings and tap the Do Not Disturb setting.
14.
Tap the Allow Calls From option.
15.
Select your newly created group, and only your newly created group.
16.
Back in the Do Not Disturb settings, you may want to toggle Repeated Calls
to OFF. Sometimes coworkers think that the end of the world is approaching,
and it's not.
17.
That's it - you're done! Now you can enable Do Not Disturb at night (or in
meetings, on dates, whatever) - and your really important contacts will
still be able to reach you.
