I do the following: I never give my real phone number to anybody other than people I directly know. Everybody else gets my Google Voice number, which is set up to directly go into voicemail without ever ringing. As far as I can tell, I receive 2-3 robocalls a day, so GV just blackholes them for me. Every now and then someone leaves a voicemail, and I read that, but it's very rare that a robocall leaves a voicemail because Google call screener requires them to enter a number to do so.
