I choose to opt for the "No phone" policy.  Yes, a "phone" may exist 
(whatever that is), but there is no good reason to answer it.  
Everything worth doing in the 21st Century can be achieved via email.

No ringing involved.
No reason to turn down OutKast.
No interruptions while eating.
And so on and so on...
