If you have the number for your sister, parents, doctor, or spouse in your contacts then your phone will ring. The only time it will not ring is if the number is not already in your contacts (and even then it will ring if you recently called that same number).

The only time I've had a problem with the "silence unknown callers" feature is when I call a main number for a business and the return call is from a cell phone or another line in the business. Since the number calling me isn't in my contacts and isn't the number I recently called it is directed to voicemail and I need to start over.
