I've had very good luck with the National Do Not Call Registry:

National Do Not Call Registry

Free, easy to use, and works for both land lines and cell phones.

I pay the monthly fee to STOP robo calls.  I still get them daily, repeatedly - they need to improve the software again.

TOTALLY AGREE!  Carreers like Verizon should provide this sercice free of charge - especially from long-time, on-time paying customers.  But, they don't.

Verizon definitely don’t care about their customers. If they did to block robo calls wouldn’t cost customers additional money. If we the consumers were smart we would boyycott these big companies we don’t. We just get on these blogs and complain about it. Which doesn’t help not one bit.

My wife got 18 in one day.  I answered one on her phone yesterday and told the person I wasn't interested in what they were selling, then asked them if they knew Jesus who died for them.  They said, "thanks for your time, goodbye.".  She hasn't had any robo calls today.      Matt. 11:6

cox telephone offers robo call blocking for free. Verizon does not. This awful!

Your mention of Cox leads me to believe you’re interested in a blocking feature for your landline. Is that right, donschon? While this is a forum for Verizon Wireless mobile service, I did locate a little information about a landline feature here.

Let us know if this helps.

I'm trying to stop the same.  The Do Not Call Registry seems useless at this point.  I am registered.  Verizon for home phone is allowing for nomorobo.com to be installed on a landline.  Perhaps Wireless will join the effort.  Right now if you buy, it is a monthly cost of $1.99 or annual cost of $19.99.  It has been 75% effective on my landline.  Today I have received about 10 robo calls pitching everything from health insurance to new electricity provider.  I individually block each of those numbers, but the scammers just use another number -- probably a spoof number.

Update today: "Your phone carrier can now block robocalls by default"
