PURPOSE: A method for automatically disabling an audible alarm in a cell phone is provided to automatically disable the ringing or beeping of the cell phone. CONSTITUTION: If a non-audible mode signal is received(402), a cell phone is automatically placed in a non-audible mode. An audible alarm is automatically disabled(403). One or more non-audible alarms, such as a blinking light, are automatically enabled, or a vibration unit is activated(404). The silent mode of operation continues for as long as the cell phone receives the non-audible mode signal(405). If the cell phone no longer receives the non-audible mode signal, the cell phone is automatically placed back in its normal mode of operation. The audible alarm is automatically enabled, and the non-audible alarm is automatically disabled(406).
