My problem with out of area call refusal is a simple one: I've got
friends all over the U.S. I also often get business calls on one of
the home phone lines, and they can be from almost anywhere.

That's a reasonable reason. I should clarify, our answering machine is
set to screen, so if one of the out-of-area, or unavailable numbers is
legitimate and the person starts to leave a message, we will pick up.
