    Maybe try Carrion from F-Droid? And call the national do not call registry. Both of those ended my spam call epidemic.

      In our country the national do not call registry is fake.

      We are so smart that we gave the management of it to a “non profit” foundation that charges legal call centers millions of euros. It’s 10000x cheaper to ignore the law and call people illegally from abroad. If get caught (very hard as numbers are spoofed, not illegal to spoof a number) pay the slap on the wrist and continue operating illegally

        That bites, I didn’t trust the US one. But I had a corporate number to test it on and so far these seem to be working. Carrion might work in your country but I think it is maintained by a US university. It blocks unsigned calls. Dont really know what that means but the spam stopped.

          They just use auto dialers and try every number, doesn’t matter if your number is actually out there or not

      Never heard of carrion, pixel phones have a built in method for this. Would I see a benefit over using the built in features on the pixel?

        No idea, honestly. You might not be able to use them at the same time. I had to set Carrion to my “Caller ID & Spam Filter” app in the default app settings.
