What Randall and the essay guy are proposing is to have a list of accepted contacts for a certain phone profile. Say I'm at work, I only want to recieve calls from my girlfriend and mum and maybe some call that that I have scheduled in my calendar. All the the others can be either rejected, or rejected and smsd or something. I'm pretty sure I saw that on my dad's old Nokia (6303, Symbian).
