Do Not Disturb

By , About.com Guide

Definition:

You can use this feature if you don't want to be disturbed when you are doing something important, or when you don't want to hear anything important! You might be having some well-deserved sleep, or might just want to be cut off from the outside world. With the 'do not disturb' feature, your phone will not ring.

Does this mean that you will miss the call? Not necessarily. The person calling will be prompted to leave a voicemail, which you will retrieve when you are ready for it.
