idea Randal proposed?

There's no idea in Randall's email. If a user doesn't want to be disturbed by incoming calls, he should mute his phone. The essay in the link complained that his phone showed 20 missed calls. In that case, the user should activate airplane mode. Those are compelling, existing solutions to the use cases Randall mentioned and are available across every mobile phone in existence.

Randall's stated goal is that he doesn't want others to call him on the phone unless they've scheduled in advance, and the way you enforce that is to turn on your phone 5 minutes before the scheduled time.

Solutions such as Timeriffic are wonderful, but Randall has already stated that they do not solve his problem. In that case, deactivating the phone will.

Nathan
