When you put your cell phone on silent, a message is transmitted to everyone in your address book (perhaps the icon next to the name would change) thus letting your contacts know that your are unavailable to take a call.
The only problem with this is that it may require some extra software or something.
Therefore at first this feature would only be available on certain cell phone services, but would become universal as popularity of this feature spreads.

If silent mode is insufficient, why not simply turn the offending phone off? |

When I put my phone on silent, it is
because I *am* available to take a call,
but don't want to disturb the people
around me with a ringing phone. |

okay, let me clairify- this feature would let people know when you are unavailable to take a call, for example if you are in a class or a meeting. The function is that people would know when you will be available to take a call- so they can call you when you ARE available. |
