Letting the answering machine screen your calls is pretty effective.
Most spam callers don t respond to the machine message and give up or try to talk over the machine so around 90% of the time its pretty obvious that its spam. There are a few that will leave a message but, so far, all the ones I ve had are celarly spam. Like most folk I have a pretty good idea of who will legitimately ring me.
Going mobile only for voice and getting folk into the habit of using E-Mail also cut the spam calls signifcantly. I m down to about 2 a week from maybe 20 - 30 when I regularly used the land-line. Downside is lots of E-mail gruff to deal with but highlighting 30 or so at a time and hit delete twice a day takes very little time.
