I've tried blocking numbers. If helps with some things (like charities 
that seem to think I'm an ATM) but doesn't help with spammers (too many 
numbers).

I seldom answer spam calls on my home phone because of caller ID NAME (the 
current usual pattern for spammers is the name is a copy of the number). I 
really wish cell phones would provide that. I probably miss some real 
calls by ignoring unknown numbers.
