Hi @Bilbobagginsin,

There's not a Network feature for this, but on my Google Pixel 6, I can customise my Do Not Disturb feature to allow calls only from existing contacts, or from "starred contacts". I'd recommend having a check if your phone supports this feature.

I found this in Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb > People

There should be similar features on most Androids and iPhones to allow calls from some or all contacts whilst Do not Disturb is active.

Hope this helps,
Jonathan

Or simply turn your phone off at night.

Very true, or switch on Do Not Disturb without adding exemptions.

You can also block whatever numbers you wish and/or report them as spam
