Is it an android phone? Then all you are looking for is an app that blocks spam calls. I've Truecaller on my phone and it usually works.
On my daughters phones we use a parental control software that just blocks all the calls from numbers out of her cell phone contacts (I can manage these too with the parental control). I strongly suggest you to instal a parental control, there are problems not only with the unknown calls but also with messages, mails, websites, dangerous apps, in addiction to the cell phone obsession almost every teen has, you can limit the time too with parental control.
