And legitimate people who want to reach you have to leave a message and
hope you gonna call back?

A wireless phone should also display the number of the caller, so you
can decide wether to answer it or not. When you add the people you know
to the phonebook, you may even see their names and when then there is no
name but just the number when the phone rings, this may also indicate a
spammer call.
