So, to answer people's comments: I'm not really going to change numbers, because I've already changed my number like 4 times for unrelated reasons, and I'm tired of changing it. I don't have a contract phone, and blocking numbers through the phone company is more hassle than it's worth, and probably wouldn't work anyway. I have no smartphone, so I can't just get an app. Not gonna take legal action against them because this is not a sue happy country. I have already told them not to call me, many many times (would be stupid not to have tried that already). After six months of two or three calls from them a day, ignoring them is not as easy as it sounds. There is no "do not call" list in my country. The most ridiculous thing is that they're trying to sell me some English courses, and I've told them I don't even need them, but of course, they just want to sell. I'll have to muster up the courage to pick up the phone and play loud and freaky **** for them in the background until they decide I'm a deranged individual who shouldn't be messed with.

do not call list bro
I always just answer the phone and hang up right away. Once in a while they'll call back, then I just say "No." and hang up again. It works for me, and then you don't have annoying voicemails.
There's a list called the Do Not Call List, and you put on your number to stop them from calling. If they call you anyways, you can sue. Useful as hell, my number is on it. Google it!

There's no DNC list in Guatemala, dipshit. Google it. Or stop thinking America is the whole world.

Just answer and hang up when they call.
I'm amazed that so many people commented with the assumption that OP lives in the US or has a smart phone. OP, just tell the telemarketers that you're poor with several children, then randomly yell "shut the **** up! I'm on the phone god damn it!" Then start sobbing into the phone and complain about how everything never works. Do this every time, with some variation of course, and they'll never call again.
If you know it's going to be a telemarketer, start answering the phone with "Westwood Sperm Donation. You spank it, we bank it" or "Tom's House of Pain, what is your misfortune for today?" - those anti telemarketer answer lines really do work. If they keep going, you keep going in depth about the business you answered as. :P
Can't you just put a way to blacklist their number for future calls? My cell does that. =x
Yes, but telemarketers often use different numbers.
Next time answer to tell them to immediately take your number off their call list or you will be filing harassment charges. That should take care of it OP.
Why don't you just answer and ask them not to call anymore?
that's some type of harassment, you should consider taking legal action

You can take legal action against them.
I play with the illegal telemarketers all the time. To start, start light. Hit on the opposite gender. Blow a whistle in to the phone. Ask them to hold on for a moment and see how long it takes for them to hang up. Once you're good at those, start trying to convert them to alternative religions, sing annoying songs (I like "The song that never ends" from Lamb Chop's Play Along), pretend to be a small child, Chant "no" in varying tone and length until they hang up, mimic back everything they say.... When you're really good start pretending they've called a hotline. My personal favorites are the National Organization of Satanists looking for a virgin for a blood orgy... and a hookup hotline for registered sex offenders. I used to get 5 or 6 calls a day from "Cardholder Services." Now I only get two a week or so. I'm on the crazy list.
