For home, chicken wire in the walls and wired networks. A Faraday cage is the simple solution, but unfortunately for this case is unlikely to be in most interior walls in modern buildings.

That would be illegal where I’m from since it also disrupts 911 service. Yes, even in your own home.

RF flooding and interference is illegal but I have never seen that simply blocking phone signal is illegal. Even concrete walls will do that.

That sounds like one of those things made into law but hard to enforce for practical reasons, and if they did try to enforce it, might be something that a civil rights group might take up to get stricken down. Especially with what we're discussing in this thread coming.
