I am wondering if someone can tell me if iOS6 allows one to silence notifications during a call.

I have read about Do Not Disturb, but what I am wondering is can I set my phone to silence any notifications (text, email, etc.) during a phone call? I HATE talking to my wife or my boss and having my ear drum blown out by my text alert. Even when I set the "sounds" setting on silent, the vibration can be quite loud.

I have searched but have not be able to find this specific information. Thank you for any help with my question. :)

Why can't you turn Do Not Disturb on and lock your phone? Your phone call will continue and you won't get any alerts in theory :) I have not tested it.

That's possible, but I really would like the notifications to continue as normal (at least during the day) and just have them silenced during my phone calls.
