Although we in Australia do not have this facility (but they're working
on it!), it strikes me that a warped person could obtain an unlisted no.
and use it to harass other people.  I for one would like to know where
such calls were coming from...   Not that I get such calls at the moment.

Alternatively, you could have two lines, you receive calls on the silent
number and make calls on the (fake) public number.
