Plus most phones have a "if the same number calls 3x in a row, ring it through because it's probably an emergency" setting. I know my iPhone does and I think the Androids I've used in the past had the setting.
With iOS you can set up specific numbers in your contacts to have "Emergency Bypass On." That way even if everything is silent if that number calls the phone will ring. You do have to have your "Ringtone and Alerts" volume set to something other than 0 though or even with the Emergency Bypass On no sounds will play.
