> In practice of course, my phone is 100% permanently in "do not disturb" mode and does not ring at all unless I've added you to my contact list.

I go even further, unless there is a good reason for someone to have the ability disturb me, they're not whitelisted. I have no phones that ring unless it's for a specific and temporary purpose.

A ringing phone is an anachronism, it's incredible to me that people let anyone bother them in this way these days. Its an invasion of ones personal space.



Without ringing phones how do you set up a voice call at all?

Or do you rely on others letting their phones ring when you call them back while not providing them the same courtesy?
