That has been my experience also, as I've found that taking all those actions have been almost worthless. The only thing that truly works from bothering me, from a number not on my contacts list, is to simply let it go to voice mail. If it's legitimate and they leave a message, I'll call them back. If it's from an unknown caller though, usually they don't leave a message...which I consider a win-win. lol
