Help I would like to silence an individual contacts ringtone...

Is this possible? When I select an individual contact and go to options, silent does not show up as an option for that individuals ringtone. I would like some contacts to ring and others not too. Is there maybe an application that will do this? Sorry if this has been asked and answered I could not find it with a search.
 
If you're rooted, this is so simple. But if you're not, I would think all you would have to do is install one of the 100s of ringtone apps on the Market that allow for custom mp3s to be used. Record a 1-second silent mp3 (I can supply this if needed) and use that file as your "silent" ringtone.


Thank you Joe I just went ahead and used the send str8 to vmail option. Thanks for all of the feedback guys!

If only you could keep those indiscretions silenced elsewhere....:cool:

I guess it should be simple, but can you tell us how to do it. I have a rooted phone and don't want to use the voice mail opton.
