That's great, but my doctor calls every week from an "unknown number" to check in with me and I have to get that call, I can only assume that's some kind of NHS voip solution for calling patients, so even if I wanted to I can't whitelist their number.

That pisses me off so much. To top it off I have bad signal in my flat, and they refuse to contact me any other way or even leave voicemails.

I mean the irony is that when you have a huge internal phone system like this the only way to do it "right" is to spoof the number to something consistent.
