Just to give you all an additional data point, I am based in Europe. I do have business contacts and give out my number freely (on resumes, etc.) I think I've gotten 1 robot call in the past 5 years (my thought was - I knew this would happen sooner or later! I know it's a huge problem! But it didn't happen again.)
I use this phone every day and it's always on. So: if you don't want robot calls, get an international number in Europe.
People who need to contact you can pay the international surcharge.
- GFischer 8y agoI got a job at an U.S. company and so I now have a T-Mobile phone as well as my Uruguayan phone. I've never gotten a robocall on my Uruguayan phone and half the world must have it on their database (Spammy SMS, on the other hand, are a problem). OTOH, my U.S. phone gets several calls a day, and I've seldom given it out. Most are marked "Scam Likely" by T-Mobile. But I've never gotten a spammy SMS. A surprising cultural shock, to be sure. I simply don't answer the U.S. phone anymore.
- simonebrunozzi 8y agoLogical, but completely impractical suggestion. I live in the US, am from Europe, and I would never switch to a EU number just to avoid robocallers. It would heavily damage my ability to connect with US people, for work or leisure.
