It's much easier to bring your wife to understanding your personal preferences for interruptions, than to bring literally everyone in your life.

In my experience, my wife (like many in our generation) doesn't like talking on the phone so she won't call unless it's something time-sensitive. Meanwhile I've even seen some scammers and robodialers call twice in a row.

That's kind of what I was getting at. Doesn't nearly everyone have the same policy already? This custom-agreement-with-wife is what I would call the default.

Wow, how dare they?! That's illegal! ... More seriously, unless those are in your phone book then that should be easy enough to filter out and shouldn't bar letting your contacts call you when they think it's appropriate.
