I use this on my landline (actually an older version of it):

It’s 100% effective blocking robocalls. The beauty of it is that you don’t have to explicitly block each number. The way it works is that if the number isn’t in either the black or white list, it plays a message to the caller asking him/her/it to dial zero, and if the caller does that, the call goes to the phone. Robocallers never do that, so the phone never rings.

Sanity restored.

My brother’s home phone plays a recording asking the caller to press 1 to reach him or press 2 for his spouse. It rings the same phone and after that it goes to VM. Stops all robocalls.

I wish I had an app that did something like that on my smartphone...
