Morning. I am on 02 Pay and Go with a Nokia handset. I am getting unwanted calls and do not want to change my number, can I block certain numbers from ringing my phone?

Not really unless you are prepared to make a formal complaint to the police:

With some smartphones there are apps that claim to do this but they suffer from varying effectiveness.

Drat, just an alternative though but isn't there a way where you pay a certain amount to block the number

Only premium rate numbers and I think that's free, but the OP hasn't said what calls these are:
