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.
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.

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. This has literally never worked.
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
