How do you get someone's phone to ring on Do Not Disturb? Add your contact to their Favorites list; most phones allow calls from Favorites to bypass Do Not Disturb settings. Alternatively, during emergencies, you can call twice within a short period (usually about 3 minutes); many smartphones are set to ring the second time under these circumstances, assuming it's urgent.
