Got a second sim to trial coverage around my city. It’s not even been a full week and I am bombarded with spam calls and texts. Unsure if it is election related or just everyday spam.
This happened with all of our work phones. It died down over time of not answering, but it still happens.
Honestly sticking with a known number is much better than trying to get something new. There’s a reason that number was available, and it’s probably because someone wanted the spam to stop.
Your cell phone carrier is legally obligated to give you another number if you are being harassed, which this is definitely beyond any doubt harassment. Call them and be sure to use the words “I am being called constantly and harassed at my new number at all hours of the day. I am requesting a new phone number for free.” They will absolutely give you a new number based on that, free of charge.
Thank you. I will look into this.
Answer every call (without any words!) just the sound of dial-up tones. This will probably get you marked as bot and they will stop, it worked for me. But I also only had a few
Honestly. I’ve saved every number I call, like “Doctor Clinic” and all that, and I only respond to calls from unknown numbers if I’m expecting a call.
I use a app called KnownCalls that simply sends any call from outside my address book to voicemail. Works wonders.
