This has been tried before. Good luck!

Hey, sign up for the "National Do Not Call" registry. That worked so well.

Hey BigMac!

The DNC definitely reduced the calls when it first came out, but it really doesn't do much of anything today from what I can tell.

I've turned on DND between 7am and 7pm - that's helped a lot, especially the 3am calls from other countries. I just wish there was an option to turn on: "Only allow calls from my contacts to bother me, everyone else send to voicemail - without disrupting text messages, etc...

The solution for me could be done by Apple itself - just have a mode on my iPhone that doesn't ring the phone at all and sends it directly to voicemail if the caller in not in my Contact list. That would be a great addition and then also add a "delete all" button to the voicemail page. That is all I need. I would look at the voicemail transcriptions (most often they are good enough) and delete all I don't want. Currently my voicemail message says I won't answer if you are not in my contact list and prompts them to text me or leave a message. Most Robo calls never leave messages.
