I think seeing the business hours of a hotel, restaurant or other business, 
useful buttons to get directions and so on would be considered useful by most 
people.
It certainly can't d considered spam by any means, spam is defined as follows:
irrelevant or inappropriate messages sent on the Internet to a large number of 
recipients.
But yes, if the number is of a public place like a hotel, restaurant etc. the 
"More Info" screen will give you buttons for directions, reviews from Trip 
Advisor, opening hours and so on.
You can always touch the bottom left of the screen if you don't want to go 
through the available information, touch the "Favourites" tab and then swipe 
back once to "Report an Issue", a second time to "Add to existing contact" and 
once more to "Create a new contact".
Alternatively, use the often forgotten yet very useful item chooser. You get it 
with a 2-finger triple tap and it brings up an alphabetical list of all 
buttons, links and other elements on the screen. You even have a search field 
and a table index to get to where you want to be.
If you touch the screen about in the middle chances are you hit the "Call, 
Contact or Create New Contact, if you like swiping just swipe right to the 
table index, then down to the letter "C" and right 2 or 3 times to "Create New 
Contact".

Regards,
Sieghard

So the basic oS is becoming involuntary spamware.

Subject: Recent Calls List with Unexpected Behavior


Hello, I am wondering if this is new behavior, in the Phone App, under
recent calls.
I had called a hotel, so, I wanted to add it to my contacts.
I went into recent calls, tapped the More Info button expecting the
contacts screen to open.
Wow! Was I surprised to find all kinds of reviews, maps, other info
about the hotel, and finally, the Create new Contact.
I had never had this  happen before, it was a bit jarring, but not
unpleasant, just unexpected.
Is this new?
