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.

I got a new phone line for a brand new business I started. They activated the line and I got a call on it in the first ten minutes. I figured it was a test call from the phone provider. Nope, free healthcare call from a robot. Unreal.

I have the att call protect app
Most calls it blocks. Some it lets through and labels as suspected spam, but that is rare

Yeah, I get a lot of them too. I make it a habit of not answering any call that is a number not in my phonebook that pops up with a name.
If it is an important call, say from a Dr. about an appointment, they'll leave a voicemail.
So much for the National Do Not Call thing----it's a fricking joke.

The only thing that sort of works for me is not answering any calls that I don't know who is calling. I figure anyone else will leave me a voice mail if they are not telemarketers. I know if I answer one telemarketer call, several more will come within the hour.

It’s 6:25 pm and I haven’t received one.

They keep calling me to try to get me to buy a vehicle extended warranty.
Three times today they hung up when I tried to get a warranty for my
1978 Ford Pinto.
1982 Ford Granada
1976 AMC Pacer.
They called me at least they should sell me a warranty for one of my vehicles.

I’ve been using RoboKiller for the last two months. Cost me $30 a year but my telemarketing calls have dropped to zero lately.

I get text messages now as well.
I'm not sure what the do not call list actually accomplishes

Is there a ‘do not call list’ that actually works?
What's your phone number and I'll put it on the list.
