Default App that adjusts ringer to silent for different callers?

Is there any app that can have the phone ring on silent for some callers, and with volume on for some? For example when I'm sleeping, if my friends call I want it to ring on silent so it won't wake me up (but not block the call, because I still want to see the entry on my missed calls), but if my mom calls I want to hear it ring so I will wake up.

perhaps:

h t t p : / /
ringomo.com/android
.php

customize specific ringtones for every contact

otherwise create a "blank" mp3 you use for some contacts

That would be a lot of work to set up every night, lol. I want something quick and easy that you can switch on and off.

I realize this is an older request, but we just released a new application, CritiCall which does exactly this. It allows you to turn the volume off at night and still receive calls from specific people. Just set them as "critical" contacts and the app will override the volume settings and let the phone ring for those contacts only. It will remain on silent for everyone else.

You can even set up groups so you could have your family set as a group that will ring your phone 24 hours a day Then you could have another group for friends or co-workers which limits the times it overrides the volume to between 8AM to 10 PM or whatever times you want. You can customize the times for each individual or for each entire group.

Trial version is free

or Click Here from your phone.

Paid version is $0.99

or Click Here from your phone.

There are also features to let you adjust the volume that it rings as well as an automatic resume feature. Obviously there are times you can't have the phone ring, but you can turn CritiCall off and set the time for it to turn back on automatically. This works great in case you turn the volume down for some reason and you forget to turn the volume back up - you don't miss important phone calls.

If you have any issues or comments/suggestions, let us know at simplyapplied@gmail.com. We want to know what features to add - we're already working on an on/off widget and also having CritiCall work for text messages too.

I was looking for the same thing coming from a BlackBerry and I found Bedside:

I love it. It uses a whitelist so you just set up who you want calling/texting (which are seperate) and only those will ring through. It has a widget you tap to activate/deactivate so it is pretty simple too.

I use Toggle Settings pro, and it works well for this sort of thing!
