Solved: Re: Samsung S8+ Text Message Overide

Anonymous · ‎30-07-2017

Hi,

I have just bought a Samsung S8+ after many years with an iPhone.

I have a quick question about text messages over rides.

I have a motion device on my vehicle which if activated sends me a text message.

I would like to be able to have my phone on silent (for example at work or in bed) but the phone will still play the message tone if a message arrives from this particular number.

Is it possible to do??

Cheers,

Mark

You would need to use the do not disturb mode and add the number you want to come through to the allowed list.

Hi,

Could you expand on that?

Is there an app that will allow it?

Cheers.

Thanks MI5.

Would DND mode also silence the alarm or will that overide too?

Alarm will always override everything.
