After repeated data breaches that no company really seems to give a s— about my phone is blowing up with literally hundreds of spam calls and texts month. I get and make MAAAAYBE 2 or 3 important calls per month, 180-200 of the rest are literally all spam. Anyone have any suggestions, apps ect that they have found refuge with? I really don’t use SMS that much either, mostly it’s via signal, discord whats app, ect…

Just to put it out there I run CalyxOS on a Pixel 5a.

    I never answer unless I recognize the caller. If it is important they can leave a voice mail.

    On the plus side I no longer get the weekly call from the Chinese lady.

      I do the same. And then I quickly block the number I didn’t know. Seems to help, but I still get lots of spam calls.
