You can install apps on Android that you can fine-tune what happens when a call is incoming.
I set it up to immediately hang up any private numbers and not report a missed call, set it up to hang on up non-private numbers that are not in my address book and show a missed call, and it lets everyone else through who is in my address book.
Since doing this I couldn't be happier. I can't remember the last time I got an unsolicited call.
I don't have voicemail because I don't know how to set it up to have a recorded message that doesn't accept voicemails. I'd like to set it up so that I can say 'you can contact me on this email address' but not accept a voicemail message, then it'd be perfect.
The people who need to be able to contact me are already in my address book. Everyone else can send me an email.
