I would guess the AARP phone plan is reasonable since one needs a phone for confirming Dr. appointments and  emergency uses. The internet plan is cheap as well. I use it to keep the grocery bill down by getting stuff from Amazon. I live in a small town.

I might have to break down and finally get an ishit. My land line phone won't let me alone. Lots of fake ghosts calls and solicitations every day. I don't answer them, but I can't even stand the phone ringing anymore. Assuming I can avoid that fate with an ishit.

There are services that can knock down the vast bulk of the junk calls.  I recently activated Nomorobo.  It works reasonably well.  I'm still getting in the habit of not answering phone calls on the first ring though.  It takes Nomrobo a few seconds to identify bogus calls.  If the caller is on their block list, there is no second ring.  Still, it does pretty good.  

The AARP has a page up that identifies various blockers that work on different types of phones.
