Yeah, because when your spouse is getting rolled into emergency surgery after suddenly collapsing you'll definitely know what number is going to call you to inform you, so you'll want to whitelist that one. And when a drunk driver hits her car on a rural road in the middle of the night and her phone is trapped in the wreck, you'll want to make sure you whitelist the phone number of the passerby that stops to help. And when your elderly parents' house is burning down (along with their phones) you'll definitely know all the phone numbers of all possible emergency responders and neighbors, so whitelist all of them too.
That's not even considering mundane everyday stuff like delivery people/repair people who got lost or have to reschedule last minute. You might have the main number for the business whitelisted, but those sorts of calls usually come from the phone number of the day's driver.
The only people who think "just disable incoming phone calls" is a viable option either have no friends and/or family, very little life experience, or both.
I would think the more likely scenario in this case would be to work through the list of emergency contact numbers (ie. cell phone, work phone, home phone) in succession rather than calling the same number twice.
The problem is unless you have a home phone, you already can't rely on cell phones to have every call come through. Calls do not connect all the time, and end up going to VM anyway.
If people want to contact me, they can leave a message on my voicemail.
