The way to stop receiving unwanted calls is to use the "do not disturb" option on your phone, except for calls from your "contacts" list. Make sure your contacts list is up-to-date. You will receive no more telemarketing calls.

You also won't receive calls from companies that you do business with, that have representatives who work from home and use a company-provided burner phone to call customers. Y'know, to let you know that your order was cancelled. Or that your health insurance denied coverage for a procedure you have scheduled next month. Or a reminder to update and submit your application to something you need/want to do, because they haven't received it yet.
I love my Google Pixel because the Assistant acts as my "receptionist." It fields all calls from phone numbers it doesn't recognize, and the call only rings on my end once the person calling has identified themselves to Assistant.
