I simply use Do Not Disturb, a feature that came on my 5 year old Galaxy
S10+ phone. If the number is not in my contact list the phone won't ring
but will send it to Voicemail. I have Voicemail set to beep once so I can
check it if I'm nearby. Dunno how many new phones still have this feature.

Same here. As I said it's been 5+ years since I've fondled a new one...

So important calls like family, doctors, etc. get through but otherwise
not. To my surprise looking at the missed calls list I've found that only
around 1 in 10 non-contact (junk) calls leave a Voicemail, and even then I
can easily dispatch it after listening only a few seconds, so IMO I'm ahead
in the battle. YMMV...
