Audible alerts when ringer is off

[jleebiker]

Is there a way to make sure when I get an email on a specific account or text from a contact that even if my ringer is off, I can still hear an audible alert? I've made them a Favorite, but if the ringer is off, I don't hear their custom ringtone. Thanks!

NVM. Found the "Emergency Bypass" setting. Hope this does what I'm looking for.

Well dang. It didn't work. I flipped the switch to turn the ringer off. Specified one of my test accounts to use "Emergency Bypass" for phone and text, sent an email to myself from one of the test accounts and nada. Does it ONLY work for phone and text? Not email?
