  This is a good reason to get a Google Voice number for any non-personal contacts. Assuming it's an option where you're located, of course. Not only does it provide call-flow options your standard cell number may lack, it also has the added benefit of being transient so you're free to ditch the number at any point and change to a new one.

• Met this guy at a rock gig. Took his number thinking he’d piss off after but he messaged himself straight away. Thought if I ignored his messages he’d leave me alone. Between last messages he probably called me about 50 times. Was spending time with family so haven’t even noticed till later.

  I haven’t played with it a ton, but it’s a free app. It let me pick an area code and choice of phone numbers too. https://voice.google.com/about. Source: about 2 years ago
