How do I get these people to stop calling me?

I'm on the do not call list, but we keep getting these phone calls from a florida number, I'm in NH, all hours of the day, any day of the week! When we call the number back, either it's busy or no one answers. They call, but when I answer, no one says anything! How do I get them to stop?

Update:

I dont even have a chance to ask them who they are or where they're calling from, because it seems like they hang up right away! It's a land line, and I have a feeling it's some kind of company, not a single person. I dont know what to do...

    I have a thing called a Zapper from Walmart, everytime a caller calls that turns out to be an unwanted call, you push a button on the Zapper and that number will not be allowed to call again, ever.

    The zapper blocks the number.

    Take the hit and leave your phone off the hook for at least 8 days, they'll get sick off it, last resort, get new phone number.

    i got that once, but then one day i shouted f*c* off! and got an answer they said excuse me? it was some idiot with a survey, so either be abusive like i or do the above and call the police, i guess but i dunno what they can do. where i live, if you phone the police and say ive been shot, they say if your not dead its not priority.

    Same problem, all I said was if they didn't stop calling me I was going to find them and kill them. It worked, but maybe you could try something else.
