For what's worth, I registered for the FCC's do not call registry way back and it helped a bit - but once you're registered, if you get spam calls, you can report the numbers to the FCC for having called you despite being on the registry. YMMV but it might be worth a shot!

Just disable the phone function on your pocket computer. It's just for boomers.
I used to get these all the time, dont think ive had any yonks. Wonder if they changed something down here.
Huh, that sucks, this is not what I have been experiencing when using the Google dialer though.
I remember everyone was shitting on the Google dialer over the MIUI dialer because the latter was able to record calls, I couldn't care less about a call recording feature, but to me the Google dialer is very superior due to having a proper spam blocking feature.
I also tried several spam blocker apps, but still Google's gave me the best experience.
Totally unrelated, but I just want to let you know: the last security update for Pixel 5 was a few months ago. You should stop using that phone as soon as possible.
