Yes. Completely redesigning how phones work is exactly what we need. This problem is only going to get worse.

Well, that's a multi trillion dollar project that would involve every country in the world. Will never happen.
International calls are still expensive than national or state calls (the regular cellular ones, not the whatspap viber imo or internet ones).
consumers have an easier solution: they just don't answer the phone unless it's a someone they know.
This isn't a solution. I need to accept legitimate calls from numbers who've never called me before all the time.
It's not a solution for you, but you're one of a shrinking group. Phone calls as a way to communicate with unknown people are on the way out, no one under 40 uses that method except under extreme duress.

Don't accept them until they start talking.
IDK, my iPhone will show me the live transcription of the callers message without me answering it. And then if I want to speak to them, I can answer the call in the middle of the message being left and talk to them.
Sounds cool, but this concept isn't at all new. Anyone who used answering machines did exactly this. You would listen to the message being left in real-time and pick up if you actually wanted to talk to them.
If people can't be bothered to leave a message, then that's their problem.

VOIP is decades old by now anyway. I’m perfectly capable of calling across the globe with various technologies that don’t need rotary phone technology
