    Businesses are a separate use case. Phone companies already handle separate use cases, where they use very short memorable numbers for specific purposes. They just need something similar, whether it’s keeping phone numbers, or using something slightly different. Probably some sort of simple alias.

    It’s the phone companies that need to innovate, and the solution isn’t very hard.

      You say the solution isn’t very hard but what you are suggesting is basically just obfuscating phone numbers. Surely the actual solution is to just make spam calling illegal.

      Oh and just cut Indias data connection, because those guys are never going to fix their scam call centre problem because the government and police are corrupt.
