Anecdotal, but several people I know who used to get loads of spam calls noticed a very significant and lasting decline in frequency after signing up for https://www.easyoptouts.com/. Seems like a good thing to do anyway, might be worth trying if you struggle with this.

    There's also donotcall.gov that is for free.

    If you are in California you also now have another tool: https://privacy.ca.gov/2026/01/californias-opt-me-out-act-your-privacy-just-got-easier/

    I think it starts taking effect in August.

    LOL, it seems to work for me, I receive almost no spam on my phone.

    the do not call registry is only respected by legitimate telemarketers, which are not responsible for the vast majority of spam calls

    That's a valid point, but one cannot say that it "literally never worked" because it does.

    Most of my spam was "legitimate" telemarketers, because I only give my phone to legitimate businesses, never provided it for some surveys and other crap that requests it. Also when I get a call that I don't recognize I just let it go to voice mail.
