I hope they add an option to opt out of this.

Opt out of spam calls?

Or opt out of having them count the calls coming from your phone?

I think you should have to EPLICITLY opt IN to spam calls. I think Apple should block them by default. (ie - I think you should be AUTOMATICALLY opted out of spam calls.)

Opting out of them counting your calls should be allowed by Apple. Of course, I don't expect Apple to just take on all the fraud that goes along with that. For instance, they should be more than free to subject your mobile app store activity to extra scrutiny if you opt out. Potentially even blocking you from being able to take certain actions on the stores. Because it's obvious that all of the criminals and fraudsters will opt out.
