Default OT (sorry) blocking robocalls

I went to E-How, which stepped me through how to block incoming calls
(of course, it's done individual number by individual number) and then
at the end it says - Warning: If the person has blocked the caller ID
on an incoming call, the call will still ring through.

Of course, I don't have a problem with unwanted calls because I
haven't found a ringtone that will get my attention unless the phone
is out in the open and near me when it rings. I know there's at least
one that is the old fashioned annoying landline ringtone, because
somebody's cell phone went off twice during a political discussion on
TV yesterday. It was funny for me and annoying for them, but it gave
me hope that I'll find one eventually.
