    Those examples you mentioned aren’t random people. They’re people she knows and organizations that she associates with. I am suggesting that we rethink the system to specifically disallow randos.

      Have you ever had food (or package and furniture even) delivery where they need to call, or gotten a call from a pharmacy, or had to call a plumber, or lost a pet? There’s tons of reasons why people need to call a random person.

      It makes sense to have the option to lock down a phone to just contacts, like for kids and the elderly, but not for everyone.

        For me it’s calls from medical professionals regarding my wife. There’s no way to know ahead of time the entire list of numbers all of these organizations - each facility, each provider, each insurer, each pharmacy.
