Killing unwanted calls: would this work?

Correct!
Correct too!
It actually took me a LONG time to find it this morning to answer the question about what it was called.
I appreciate you taking the time to look it up.
Had I known how long it would ultimately take me, I might not have done it.
Are you planning to try out the non-app yourself?
Not certain at this point. As I mentioned, I've been plagued with those sorts of calls on my landline and very rarely (last call was more than a year ago) on my cell number. I've found, however, that it nearly always pays to have an ace in the hole, should the need arise. This discussion & collected info has been most helpful and is much appreciated.

As I think I mentioned above, my landline is forwarded to my cell, and I suspect most of the junk calls I get come from the landline.
I wonder if there's any sort of device or setting with landlines that would kill off all these calls...
Short of reverting back to two tin cans and a length of string, I doubt it.
You can't block the numbers thru the phone company because they are always changing. Stopping them is akin to playing a game of Whac-A-Mole.
Well, the way I see it, if Android can develop a simple and free app that blocks all unknown/non-contact callers and works like a charm, either landline makers, or phone companies -- or even Apple! -- should be able to figure out a way to do it too.
I've gotten an iphone 6, and I've noticed a mysterious new problem. The silent ringtone I purchased from the 'tones' store has disasppeared a couple of time and things have reverted to what they were before. The first time I chalked it up to odd glitch, and just re-downloaded/purchased it.
But now it's gone again and reverted again. What is happening, and how do I prevent this?

The reset and restore didn't hold. The ringtone disappeared again. Another call to tech support revealed that the problem is a widespread one of purchased ringtones disappearing after 8.1.1. The "engineers are hard at work on a solution" though...
