So a captcha for phones? Like "press 7 to reach me". Great idea acctually.

  I have this set up at twilio with a simple Studio workflow and so far it defeats 100% of automated dialers: A lot of auto-dialers wait to hear a human, so to trigger anything listening for a response, the challenge goes "Can you hear me? This number is protected by Samaritan Call Protection" (shout-out to Person of Interest) Then about a second later, it follows "Press 5 to be connected." Things that dial 5 get a ring-through to my cell, things that don't get blackholed.
