Silence Incoming Calls on Your Phone
If you're busy and don't want to be disturbed, you can silence incoming calls. If you do this, the phone won't
ring, but you will see a visual alert. So, you can still choose to answer the call. If you don't answer the call,
the call goes to your voicemail instead.
