You can trivially accomplish this under the current system. There is no need for a change that imposes your preferences on everyone.

There is a need. The whole point is to do that. "I'll just opt out" half measures won't get rid of the culture. We're all expected to have phones. People want to call. We suffer actual economic consequences if we refuse to participate. Your "solution" boils down to "just don't have a phone so we can ostracize you". Like the loonies who don't have Facebook accounts for the companies to spy on. The whole idea is to wipe Facebook off the face of this Earth so we need not face such choices to begin with.
There's nothing loony about not having Facebook or a phone. Nobody really gives a damn, I promise you. What is silly is trying to disallow everyone else from having something because you don't want it.
I've seen HR avoid hiring people who didn't have phones or Facebook accounts. I've seen them straight up ask for the account passwords.
Do tell for a laymen like me.
Cancel your phone service and then no one can call you or interrupt you. Set it to Do Not Disturb. You got multiple choices.
