There is always a possibility of emergency call from a not whitelisted number which is why I stopped doing that. Even if you have young family (young kids) and heaven forbid there is an accident if a third party tries to locate you you might never know. I learned my lesson the hard way so I am back to a not quite as good spam blocking service like NoMoRobo.

To guard against that I have voicemails emailed to me and have a notification set on my phone that goes off whenever I get an emailed message, but point taken, in an emergency when time is of the essence it could be a problem. In my case the likelihood of such a scenario is very low, so the small risk is worth the benefits (especially given the volume of nuisance calls we get).
