My simple solution is I almost never answer my phone if the call is from a number I don't know*. If the caller feels it is important, they will leave a message. To me, no message left means it is not important (and I really don't care if the caller thinks it is). If it is really important and urgent, they will likely call back in a short amount of time.
* Sometimes I will answer if I'm not too busy and want to mess with the 'house hunters' that want to buy properties you may or may not own (among other annoyances).
