You know there's a Do Not Disturb option on your cell phone right?

Just leave it on 24/7

Not sure why people down vote this but it is THE current easy and free answer. IDK about all phones but on iPhones you can customize the DND settings. I leave it on all the time but allow calls from my contact list, everything else goes to VM. You can set a schedule to prevent some or all calls from coming through during certain hours. I used to use that because I travel a lot and have an east coast number so the calls would start at like 5am when I was on the west coast. Now I just block them all the time.

Anyone outside my contact list just leaves a message and I get back to them.

There are also free and paid call filters for most phone companies, some are apparently good but the Verizon one has issues.
