> Actually I'd feel rude phoning someone without arranging it first. Not terribly rude, but a little uncomfortable. What if they are driving or in an important meeting?

Then they don't answer it. It's called self control!

Alas, telephones give me no way to distinguish between a spam call and a call from a hospital because a loved one has been brought in unconscious.

Are spam calls really a problem in your country? I've taken 24 calls in the last 7 days, none of which were spam. I'm not sure the last time I received a spam call was.

LOL

Literally as I typed that above my phone started ringing, I didn't recognize the number, answered it, and it was a spam call. Lasted 12 second. That's the only one in my "recent" calls, which go back to March 27th. What are the chances.
