Maybe some phones can do this, but I've never heard of it, but wouldn't it be cool if you could just hit a button and that number would never again make the phone ring?

There is a free service that you can sign up with that will intercept calls from numbers you provide and prevent them from ringing on your phone. The only requirement is that your phone service must provide for remote ringing. I tried to sign up but, alas, our land line service does not provide for remote ringing so the service will not work for me. Sorry, I cannot remember the name of the service but Google will probably turn it up.
And we got the exact phone message as the OP, just last week, left on our answer machine. We have a audio caller ID set up and it's gotten to the point where we do not answer any calls from numbers or names we do not know. If the call is legitimate, they will leave a message and we'll call back or pick-up during the message. We must get calls from unknown/mystery sources at least 7-10 to times per day, and none leave a message. The numbers that habitually call, I can block but, unfortunately, my system is limited to 30 blocked numbers.
Robo calls, scammers, solicitors--what a bunch of PITAs!
