They won’t stop calling, but get ‘this’ and you can control what calls you do get:

Works great. I reset it from the factory setting to block ALL calls, then “allowed” my local area code. This stops all the calls from out-of-state, multiple numbers ... we had that same problem.

Friends, family, doctors within our local area code are not blocked. If I get calls within our area code that are problematic, I can block them or block the ‘exchange’ (first 3 numbers after area code). You can also block up to 20 by name & that comes in handy sometimes.

Friends/family that are out of our area code are added to either an “invited” list or a “VIP” list & they ring through.

My folks are elderly so stopping the 6-12 spam/annoying calls a day (record # was 16 one day!!) has restored peace to the house.

That system only works for callers who are using their real number. Telemarketers are now using a system that allows them to appear as any number they wish. I’ve even received calls from my “own” number.
