Voicemail. Why doesn't it work in this case? Do you work in sales? If so, why not use a separate "business" phone? Get the cheapest pixel you can find and enjoy

  It's not business related. These are calls from dog groomers, doctors, and other service providers. I have a separate phone number for my job (which also is starting to get spammed). My voicemail box is about 2/3 spam voicemails. It doesn't really fix anything, just shifts it to another place that I then have to check to weed out spam calls and find the legitimate ones. > I'm having trouble understanding how 2 phonecalls, poses such a big problem. Please help me understand. Okay, so it's not a "big problem". I'm being a little hyperbolic in my previous comment. It's an annoyance, and a galling one. Like email spam was back in the day. I could still find the legitimate emails among that crap, but it sucked and I would've rather not. The 2 phone calls themselves aren't the problem. The spam is. But the 2 phone calls each month are enough that I don't want to just ignore all non-whitelisted calls. Doing that will cause its own annoyance, as I miss calls that I didn't want to, and have to check voicemail each time a spammer calls me.

    I ignore nearly all unrecognized incoming calls (average ~1 per day but varies a lot, sometimes 5-10 in one day). IME only a very small percentage actually bother to leave a message. But perhaps this varies by region, or carrier, or any number of other things.
