That sounds like some pretty cool tech, but the problem is that spam still interrupts your day, whether you're holding the phone to your ear or looking at it in front of your face.
The feature auto-screens and only alerts you if the caller is deemed important. Most of them just hang up and there's no interruption at all.
Yeah - the config is somewhat granular so for known spam I don't even see it happening.
I agree. Waiting for the robot to interrogate the auto-recorded spam call is significantly more annoying than just picking up the phone, hearing a sales pitch in Spanish or the "your car warranty is about to expire" man, and immediately hanging up.
