I agree your method will work to stop spam calls from getting through, I see two issues with it that perhaps you've already addressed that I didn't see in your method:

1. Won't spam calls get through to your voicemail anyway?
2. It seems like an awful lot of maintenance if one has a large contacts list to set custom ring tones for those contacts.

What am I missing in your solution?

BTW, I use "Should I Answer?" and "Mr. Number" on my Samsung Galaxy S9 to deal with spam calls. I don't recall the last time a spam call got through. It uses Social Media and user submissions of bad numbers and/or bad prefixes to block spam. I think it works great.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Merry Christmas to you as well!

I long ago turned off voice mail. It's one less thing to do every day. If you didn't get me live on the phone then you didn't get me. Email or message but no voice mail. Voice mail is so 20th century answering machine simulator!

Yes it's a lot of work if you have a very big contact list. Though you only have to do it once and remember when you put a new contact on to give it a ring tone. When I did it I also cleared a lot of really old contacts from my list....mostly business related that I no longer needed. Heck I even had dead people on my contact list!
