That works well but can be dangerous as it was for me a number of years ago. There are a lot of situations when sending **ALL** numbers not in your contact list directly to voice mail could be at the least bad and at most dangerous especially in the middle of the night. One has to seriously consider all the ramifications of that before doing it like family health, older relatives, kids etc etc No one can have every possible emergency call phone number in their contact list.
