Considering I'm getting those calls regularly, I wish there are practical way to set up a paywall for incoming calls to deter those.

Like, what if we could set up a system where they have to pay 25c tolls on incoming calls, and they only get waived if it is indeed a legitimate call, indicated by the receiving party...

Selective billing, though? I know in some countries callers pay for all outbounds but I don't think it was all possible unless one would set up those premium rate numbers...
