I'm with you. Living in a stone house in the countryside takes care of this for the most part. But realistically most everybody I know has switched to email or other forms of getting in touch, so phone calls rarely happen out of the blue. Even my parents know to email first to set up a time to call.
It seems that the social norm has shifted to the point where an unscheduled phone call is actually considered a bit rude.

I really wish that was the case but my observation is that only really applies with people over a certain threshold, much the same way that that people my age (36) remember growing up in a house where noone used the phone after 9pm since it was considered the absolute height of bad manners to ring someone for anything less than "someone died/the nukes are falling". These days I just put my phone in airplane mode and ignore the thing most of the time.
