We never picked up the phone when it rang unless we knew who was calling, but THOSE calls were so annoying calling at all hours starting around 8:00 in the morning until 9:00 or so at night. I then saw on a morning new show about NOMOREROBO (not sure about the spelling) and googled the site. It is free, so I added my phone number and 99% of the phone calls never make it to my house. I don't know how they do it, but they do. The first week we did hear the phone ring twice as though the calls were being rerouted.
If your phone service company is not on the NOMOREROBO list (Comcast is) just don't pick up the phone or block the number. If I would get really annoyed with a caller who kept on calling repeatedly I just took out my Comcast instruction booklet given to me when they installed my phone/TV/computer and flipped to the page on block call. Now, I don't need to resort to blocking anymore, but its good to know it's there.
