Could you say this please?

Which would you say?

1 As of now/as from now/from now on, I'm not answering the phone.
2 He isn't answering my calls./He isn't answering the door.

Can you say both Answer the door and answer the phone, or is it something else for DOOR?

thank you

I used part tense in 1 and 2 to show that the speaker''s ownership came before the other person's claim.

Not with "before." You could say, "She's my dog, not yours."
