That's one of the things Google Voice does, and there are a bunch of other similar "find me/follow me" services offered through various other providers or as a feature in a phone system that can do the same thing. Unknown callers get prompted to say their name and then I can choose whether to answer the call or not.

Edit: It does exist, works with SIP, and there are even questions in SO about it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64694122/python-make-a-call-using-tapi-telephony-application-programming-interface https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64694122/python-make-a-c...
- mherdeg 4y agoCharming optimization here: > This function is designed to help telephony apps cooperate in implementing "toll-saver" features. When no messages are waiting, COMDIAL picks up after five rings. When messages are waiting, it picks up after three rings. This way, when I call to listen to my messages and the phone rings four times, I know there are no messages waiting. I can hang up before COMDIAL answers and avoid those hefty long distance charges. These days I just tunnel TCP over DNS (badly)
- jrootabega 4y agoNeat. It's the computer equivalent to collect calling your mom and saying your name is "Come pick me up at Billy's house!" Or "Bob Wehadababyitsaboy" for TV commercial fans. The telephone companies stopped letting you do it eventually.
- Arrath 4y agoThat's quite clever.
