Whitelisting, and you can press a button to refund after the call.

No, there should be no option to refund. If there is it will become a moral obligation, many people will feel bad about not-refunding in whatever a case.

It's about mass marketing spam, not people you know. People you know will call from a consistent phone number, and you can use time tested methods such as not answering instead of making them pay 0.10 to talk to you.
