I got a Google Voice number several years ago and give that out. I am able to block callers through it if need be, which I have only done once (an annoying roofer who wouldn't understand I wasn't going to hire him).
Another trick I've used is creating a contact (I call it Whoo Knows) with a silent ringtone. I've added a lot of phone numbers to that contact. The phone doesn't ring if any of those numbers call, and the caller ID if I see it show up on screen tells me it's not a call I need worry about answering. They never leave messages so I doubt they were important anyway.

I have even spoken to him and asked him to be careful they get his number right, when he gives it out. But it continues to happen. Every once in a while one of his customers or vendors gets a earful from me, and they suddenly learn his correct number. That happens about the third time they call me, especially if it is three in a row.

I figure that if it is important they could leave a message. I almost never get spam on my iPhone. But I think I would if I didn't have the home number. Then I use that number when asked for a phone number on a website so that number gets distributed instead of my iPhone number.
