Whether you can stop unwanted marketing calls depends on where you live. In some places you can place your name on a register of people who don't want to receive marketing calls.
Otherwise, always look at the incoming number. If the number is withheld, why bother answering it? If they don't want you to know who's calling you, you might as well not bother finding out.
If you don't want to be disturbed for any reason, turn off your phone. Anyone who really needs to contact you will call back, or leave a message.
If the number calling is not someone you know, you don't have to answer it. Again, let them leave a message.
Encourage your friends to email you, or leave text or other messages for you; they won't take it personally if you explain you'll be studying, or working, or sleeping, or perhaps that you've been bothered by nuisance calls. Tell them if they leave a message you'll call back as soon as you receive it.
Remember: you don't have to take calls.
First, simply hang up on the caller. Do not engage in conversation. Typical crank callers are seeking attention. You have "made their day" if you say something to them or express shock or anger.
If the silent treatment does not work, you might try putting a message like this on your voice mail system:I'm sorry I/we can't come to the phone right now but you must leave a message. I/we are receiving annoyance calls and the phone company has a trap on this line. If you do not leave a message I/we will assume that you are the annoyance caller and this call will be traced.
If you answer the phone and the harassing caller is on the line, another suggestion is to say: "Operator, this is the call." Then hang up. Or say the word "trap," what time it is and the date; then hang up

Phone system providers like virtual PBX include in their phone feature a call screening service. Here you can limit incoming calls by creating a list of contacts. Numbers not included in the list will be blocked automatically or directed to your voicemail service. You can also select specific numbers you want to permanently block.
Whenever they call, hand the phone to your toddler and there you have it! There is also a "do not call" registry that you can become a part of however, from personal experience, it doesn't work too well.
Well There are two ways ether change your number are got to your phone company and pay $5 a month (I'm for sure you can do that with at&t I don't know about other companys but it doesn't kill to ask)
For individual telemarketing companies a person can request to be put on the company's do not call list. To stop all phone solicitation calls a person can request to be added to the National do not call list.
In order to stop harassing calls one may use a call blocking service and not answer calls that are of unknown origin. Also, if the calls are so frequent they may be reported to the service provider and the local authorities will be notified if needed.
Customize phone system and create a list of contacts. You can choose to automatically block or send to voicemail those calls/numbers not included in the list.
To stop unwanted calls there is a government site. You need to register your number there. It is called the Do Not Call Registry. Visit https://www.donotcall.gov/

To block a specific phone number from texting you on a PagePlus phone, you can have the provider disable SMS on your phone. There is currently no way that you can block a specific number from calling you on a PagePlus phone, but if you report the unwanted calls to the FCC, you may find that the calls stop.
