I have an app on my phone that forces anyone calling me (that is not in my contact list) to press a number in order to be connected. So, for example, if a robocall comes through it is met with "press 7 to connect your call". The challenge number is random and changes all the time. Since the robots can't respond to that prompt, my phone number rings. They don't even get the opportunity to leave me a voice message. Sure, live spammers can get through but that never seems to happen. And, of course, your doctor / contractor / delivery person knows how to press a number in order to complete the call. I haven't received a spam call in over 2 years.
