I keep getting telemarketers calling me constantly for solar panels, Medicare, alarm systems and even people saying that I called them but I didn’t. How do I stop this from happening. I called my phone carrier and I’m in the do not call registry. Any suggestions?

I turn on Settings > Apps > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers.
They can still call you but your phone won't ring. They can leave a voicemail but few do. Also after using this option for awhile the number of spam calls decreased for me

You can silence all unknown callers, but that may also block callers that you want to receive as well. There are third party apps that you can also try, but they are hit and miss as far as how well they work.

Your cellular provider is the best source for blocking the calls before they even reach your phone. Most of the main stream companies have call blocking settings that can be turned on to stop or at least identify the call as spam. For example TMobile has SpamShield that can be used for free and they also offer a subscription service to give you more control.
The Do Not Call registry has many faults as it requires the caller to honor the request by you and in most cases they are spoofing the calling number so they cannot be identified. You can report callers on that site.
