One IPhone you can turn Do Not Disturb option and only allow calls from your contact list. All other calls will be muted. Also, I do not answers numbers which I do not recognize and send it to voicemail, If they don’t leave voicemail I will add that number to my block list.

I tried this on my iPhone but the problem is, it seems to block all text notifications. I get way more texts from friends and family than I do phone calls. If it worked for texts the same way, that would be perfect.

I'm probably going to look into the silent ring tone for unknown numbers because that will get me closest to what I want.
