> Phone calls should have a subject line, just like emails.

Yeah, I think it's called IM.

That's called DND, my phone is 100% time in DND mode. There are already filters for spam calls based on phone number.

Maybe tell wife to write you IM/SMS or just communicate through IM as priority, if you desire text communication?
