How to blocking unwanted calls

As a business owner I'm sick and tired of receiving robocalls and other unwanted calls.
How can they be stopped or at least blocked?

It's sort of like email spam.  There is probably nothing that can stop them all.  But like email you can set up some kind of filtering on your phone.  If you have a cell phone there's apps and services like Nomorobo and YouMail.   For land lines there are many "call blockers" to chose from.  Personally I use a Digitone.  It helps but doesn't eliminate all calls (note, I don't have their latest version so it might  be even better).
