most normal wifi calling.
What do you mean? Not being on wifi isn't going to prevent spam calls from coming in unless your service is just that bad. Please explain.
im just making a joke
Well then explain the joke lol
what is there to explain?
The joke. I don't get it. What does wifi calling have to do with spam calls?
it doesn't!
You can also block calls from unrecognized numbers. Doesn't stop them from being able to leave a voicemail though which is both good and bad
From that screen-> three dots -> settings -> blocked numbers -> block calls from unknown numbers.
Highly recommend getting on the national do not call list https://www.donotcall.gov/ . Doesn't stop all spam calls, but it shrunk the amount I got at least
Does it expire or something? I used this when I got my current phone number but it's saying my number isn't registered now.
They say it doesn't but my real world experience is that you have to re-register every year or three. But it definitely makes a difference in the legal spam callers at least
Not the illegal ones.
But it does cut down on the legal ones.
These calls might be from lawyers. Check your mail and see if you are getting mail from lawyers. They are all trying to beat each other to get you to sign with them.
It's all call center spam. People speaking Chinese or Hindi in the background
Which means they're not going to respect your local do not call lists.
How would random laywers have access to your number?
Better call Saul, am I rite?
I don't know how all states operate but they have access to police reports that have your contact info. If it doesn't have your number then background reports.
Sounds like spam to me.
Mildly?
This is why having a virtual number is good - my google voice number catches the overwhelming majority of the spam
What’s a good non google alternative though?
I use mysudo. It's not free, but pretty cheap at $10 a year.
Normal phone number + carrion is decent
That’s what I use it for. I really want to find an alternative provider (Voice and YouTube are the last Google products I use), but haven’t settled on anything yet.
Tell me if you find something ever. 🫶🙈🤜🤛
