If you have family and there is an emergency and a call comes from a hospital or police station or whatever that has not been while listed you may not get it before it's too late.
Also if you have an iPhone there is a feature on it now to do that exact same thing. It's "allow known callers only." Any call NOT in your contacts (white list) is sent to voicemail. That creates the same problem though. If there is an emergency you may not know.

It is the emergency call or a useful call from someone not in our directory which causes us to answer the phone.
I do have the option of getting the crook on the phone and engaging in a silly conversation asking questions while walking around my house getting exercise.
