I keep getting calls from pesky survey people/telemarketers! How can I make this stop!

This is my fault and I'm sure. I don't know why, but for some reason I got wrapped up in doing a survey (one that says you'll get a free iPad or some other fake prize) and I filled out my real information. I know, I'm stupid for doing that.

Now, these people have my number and they're driving me up the wall! I've gotten called while I was at school or doing other important things. The calls keep coming from different numbers, so it's not like I can go onto my Verizon account and block them all. There will just be another stupid number calling me within a day.

I've read online that these people don't have to follow the do not call list policy or whatever the name may be, so I'm out of luck there. (Even it it were an option, I'd rather not have to say that to every number they call from).

So, is there a defiant way to stop this? Or will I have to resort to changing my number?

I have a Verizon iPhone and I'm under my parents plan.So, before I ask them if I can change it I'd like to be aware of any fees (in case I'll have to pay them back).Is it free or does it add a charge to the bill at the end of the month?

Also, I'm supposed to be responsible.My parents expect me to make the correct choices and what I did to land myself in this hole was stupid and reckless. How would you recommend I explain this unfortunate predicament to them?

These calls just make me feel all the more guilty every time I get them. They're annoying and they're affecting my daily functioning. Any and all advice is welcome.

Thank you.
