Google Voice offers this as an option; they're fairly big.

They have a "Press 1 to be connected" option? Where?

Not who you're replying to, but I just looked and the only option I see is you can turn on screening and so when you pick up, you hear the person's name and can decide to take the call or not.

Yeah, plus spam filtering, which AFAIK doesn't work like the GP's solution. I think the other commenter was just confused.

And you can choose to disable screening for numbers that are already in your contacts.
