I've been running a whitelist & blacklist on my landline phone (yes I still have one). Whitelisted callers get one ringtone & the phone flashes green, spam numbers are programmed into my phone as I detect them with no ringtone & the phone flashes pink (for spam). All other calls have a quieter ringtone that I may or may not answer depending on my mood - only once or twice have I missed an important call.

I realize landline phones are on the way out, but whoever makes a cordless multi-handset phone station with lots of number memory (I've nearly filled my 100 number memory) and features like VIP-callers-only, full disabling of ringer, and maybe even a downloadable spam/charity-call database, they'll get my next phone upgrade.
