Telephones have become almost useless
I have my phone to only ring for numbers in my phone book. My voice mail message explains that, since 7 of 10 calls are spam or sales calls, I will only answer if you are a known caller. They are invited to identify themselves and leave their name and a message. If it is legitimate, I call them back and also add them to my phone book so that they can ring though in the future. Everyone seems to understand and it has worked fine. Without this the phone would be basically useless.

You’re cell phone is full of tracking, gathering, and monitoring Apps. Even when you turn it off, it really not off.

Since I have never had an "I tried to get you, but couldn't" or missed a changed appointment (including from those non contact 352 numbers from the Dr office) or family emergency or celebration or golf communication or anything else worthy of worry I think I can safely say if it was important they left a voice mail and I haven't missed anything important. Incidentally I get more robo call voicemails than real voicemails. Sometimes when I am bored I listen and learn I am being investigated by the FBI or have a warrant out against me or my SSN is compromised etc, etc, etc. Less blood pressure increase using voicemail.

Never mind. I found it. You have to go the Settings, then Phone and then scroll down to see it.

On my Android phone, you go to Settings and then Notifications. From there, you turn on "do not disturb" and select "allow exceptions" and select "Contacts only". This will mute all calls except the numbers stored in your contacts. No need to install a separate app. I am not sure about IPhones.
