Claim 2:
3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein:
a key file for decrypting the encrypted encoded list of trusted callers is stored in the apparatus prior to the initial use; and
during the initial use, the executable code further causes the processor to:
locate the encrypted encoded list of trusted callers,
validate the encrypted encoded list of trusted callers,
decrypt the encrypted encoded list of trusted callers via the key file, and
begin automatically answering communication sessions received from the trusted callers in the list of trusted callers without input from the user accepting the communication sessions,
wherein the encrypted encoded list of trusted callers is cryptographically associated with the apparatus via at least one of a serial number, a firmware hash, or a unique digital signature of the apparatus.
