That's wonderful, whenever I go spend some time at my grandparents in France I have to shield several stupid marketing calls per day, usually some energy company who want to make them swap tariffs. It's tiresome, but my nan refuses to go on the 'red list' just in case someone might need to look them up in the yellow pages.
Same here, kids & jobsearching prevents me to be on a hidden list. It's always an energy crap too, like 1 dude fucking the whole country up lol.
I've been contemplating setting my phone to block any number that I don't have saved but also setting my voicemail to explicitly state that, and to text or email or whatever. I feel like most normal people would understand how bad spam calls are and would, hopefully, try to reach you if it was important.
Any unknown number should go to voicemail (they don't leave voicemail atm) but that option doesn't exist it seems.
