There is a simple, but expensive, way to get around most of the
problems with an unlisted number when the caller's number is revealed.
Namely, get two lines and disable the ringer on one and use it
for outgoing calls and unlist the other.  Then all you have to
worry about is an association between the listed phone's number
and you.  The first thing is to de-list its address.  Perhaps
a wrong name as well.  Then all you have to worry about is
phone company security :-), and whether they give out information
they shouldn't :-(.

ps - It may be cheapter to just use a pay phone for calls to
people who shouldn't have your number.
