Giving users the option of allowing calls from numbers you authorize (ex: Dentist/Doctors office, school,etc) and whatever you have in your personal contacts and then blocking the rest would solve this issue. I do not want to hear from anyone who I don't do business with or know.
A bonus would be to just call forward all other calls to your Telcos customer service lines or the FCC. I'm sure they would take the problem more seriously.
Exactly. I want the ability for my phone to not ring at all if you're not in my contacts list. Some people have suggested using the DND feature for that but I don't like that solution for this problem. When I enable DND I only want my phone to ring for my immediate family where if they're calling at an unseemly time it's highly likely it's an emergency.
