I did try it for a bit, but it was annoying when Uber drivers and delivery people were trying to reach me.

Maybe we should lobby Uber to add functionality to their mobile app to eliminate the need for a legacy phone call.

Maybe after a few popular apps do that, the phone companies will start to fear losing relevance and finally take effective action against phone spam.

Yeah, that's my fear as well - I'd miss signal in the noise filtering.
