Two more ways you can deal with this problem:
1) report it as a harassing phone call to your phone company and see if they will block the number;
2) purchase an external Call Block device.
There are many available that can block up to 1500 numbers including entire area code and partial numbers. This might be the better solution since you can use it on other pests without involving the phone company and also deal with the problem of the pests calling from additional numbers. Giving up your landline may only provide temporary relief as they may find your cellphone number and start calling you there, the same with a new phone number even if it is unpublished and unlisted.
Until you decide what to do, simply do not answer their calls or any others from unknown numbers. Anyone you may actually wish to speak to will leave a message and you can call them back.
