Even better, outside of the illegitimate ones, if your role is at all applicable, Oracle sales reps will essentially love bomb you on a never ending basis and because their turnover is so high, you get a barrage of calls on any given day of irrelevant things. Honestly I wish the phone “app” didn’t exist. If it’s some you interact with a lot it’s very unlikely an unannounced phone call is what they’d go with.
I don't get why this is the case, surely there must be a huge majority that hates those calls and wants them to stop? Is there some sort of political lobbying that prevents effective laws from being passed?
That doesn't help offshore call centers dialing to you over VOIP. Different jurisdiction and difficult trace means almost no accountability. That's the problem in the US, plus our congress is of course, the best one money can buy.
Mine seem to come in waves. I haven't gotten any, or Google hasn't let any actually ring my phone, in a few days then there will be days with a half dozen.
But I did stop getting so many spam calls in recent months, so I assume ATT or other phone service providers in the US have enabled some type of anti spam measure.
