that is always the case since my first mobile phone. I only pick up calls for number I know and ignore all 1-800 and the like numbers.

So my only real option is to change numbers or perhaps get a 'smart' phone that can ring silent based on call display numbers. Seems weird that we have to pay for answering calls and we can't restrict who is allowed to call us.

i doubt any provider would do that. google voice has recently introduced that though but it really is more like a PBX level thing.

I have both a virgin phone and a speakout phone. I keep getting a 1-800 callbot calling my virgin phone that I can't seem to stop. I called virgin to ask that they block any further calls and they claim they cannot and that I should switch numbers. I would rather switch providers and keep my number. Does speakout allow you to block certain callers?
