I wish I could do this, but I do field calls from people not in my contact list often.


My provider has 'Call Control'. If you call, it has a short prompt that says "This user has call control enabled, please enter <<some random digit>> to be connected." It ensures that only humans get through. However I have noticed some calls get through so I wonder if bots have already developed tech to listen to the message and enter the number. Wouldn't be hard I suspect.
