Im using iphone 5s with IOS 8.3
Just flip the silent switch on the left side of the phone above the volume controls. Once the notification sound (should have) ended, flip it back on. That's the only way I know of.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why someone would have a 40-second ringtone for a text message (my phone ringtones are less than that), but whatever floats you boat - that seems to be the law of the land these days.
