In previous threads people have mentioned implementing captchas that require users to input a number. This feels like a great solution that should be implemented at the os level.

This is called an IVR, and any company that uses one blocks 100% of spam calls. The robots simply cannot dial the extension to get through.

Almost any company can get one, and any person can get one on a VOIP line. (Yes, ironic.)
