No. What we need is freaking DNS for phone numbers. I don't get why this isn't a thing.
So you can actually register a bunch of numbers under the same name. If
DoctorSocks.medcalls, you know it is them regradless whether it's the front desk or what not.If
DrJoana@DoctorSocks.medcalls, you know it's the number of that particular person.In that way you can even establish curated lists. On a govermental, but also on a community level.

Hello it's me Bill Gates at rnicrosoft.com I will help you do the needful to fix your device.
See. This is exactly what would not happen.
Because granny's phone white lists the curated list from her government, her family, and, well, her individual phone. Guess what? Rnicrosoft.com is not on there. Plus, it would not work like real DNS. It's merely an anology.

Nope, this is not dynamic. If you call "DoctorSocks", you will reach them because it gets resolved for you. Not because you statically saved it on your device.
