Depends on how important it is to you that they contact you.

And the convenience too. I have had a number of blocked calls
from people I have been glad I got the call from. One from the
cops telling me about stuff that may well have come from my
place when some stupid kids quite literally wandered the streets
with a ****ing wheel barrow late at night, helping themselves
to stuff out of parked cars. I happened to have been out to a
****up the evening before, got some grog at the drive thru
bottle shop with them putting the grog on the passengers
side front seat and then I forgot to lock that door manually
afterwards, back in the days before central locking.

I've also had a mate of mine call from Egypt after they
had had their phones and wallets stolen and they needed
to get the numbers to call to have their cards cancelled etc.

I also had another of my mates use Skypeout for all of his calls
and that was very unreliable about presenting any caller id.

With the current systems being discussed in this thread these calls can
get through to you or your answerphone as long as a human is making the
call. There are options that calls from filtered numbers are answered
with instruction of how to get through and afterwards you have the
option of accepting or rejecting the call or alternatively routing it
straight to the answerphone in your absence.
