I have to interject and suggest Magicall. I've used CallBlock, Call Filter, some other application with a weird name, and finally Magicall. I've stuck with it because it's hands down the best for filtering out unwanted callers based on things like actual phone number, phone number patterns, area codes, Outlook category, time/day of the week, etc.. Oh yeah, it does SMS filterting too.

It supports custom scripting so you can get it to do anything you want. For telemarketers, mine quickly sends them to voicemail and then it turns off the TP screen.

I get a lot of calls from clearly fake numbers (eg 7777777777, 1234567999) which didn't work well with any other program. Magicall is instructed to block any number that is not exactly 7 digits in length. Very, very few actually get through.

197 calls blocked in 19 days At least they give me Sunday off lol

ps- recoring a 2-minute long silence as a voicemail greeting will waste a little of their time as well
