the number of spam calls i've received since i started using this sim card
i use it with a phone only as a router. never even given the number to anyone and i don't message or call with it. and yet...
Phone calls used to be such a quick, convenient way to talk or get info and uselessly governments have paved the way for scam companies to completely ruin the modern day phone call.
Holy shit, I thought people were exaggerating when they said spam calls had gotten out of hand. I didn't think it was that bad.
If I understand correctly you are just using the sim for data. Just forward the calls to a number that doesn't exist. That's what I did with my data sim. Worked well
Better yet - forward it to someone you hate
Can it be forwarded to a paid number?
You're likely to have been given a number which was previously used a fair amount. You could call your phone company and ask for a new number. At least that's how it works here.
Does your internets take a little break while these call?
I wonder if you can just call-forward to your ex.. 🤔
I mean, at least they're all from your country.
My company issued everyone iPhones for work and I keep getting calls from Mexico.
Maybe try Carrion from F-Droid? And call the national do not call registry. Both of those ended my spam call epidemic.
In our country the national do not call registry is fake.
We are so smart that we gave the management of it to a "non profit" foundation that charges legal call centers millions of euros. It's 10000x cheaper to ignore the law and call people illegally from abroad. If get caught (very hard as numbers are spoofed, not illegal to spoof a number) pay the slap on the wrist and continue operating illegally
That bites, I didn't trust the US one. But I had a corporate number to test it on and so far these seem to be working. Carrion might work in your country but I think it is maintained by a US university. It blocks unsigned calls. Dont really know what that means but the spam stopped.
Never heard of carrion, pixel phones have a built in method for this. Would I see a benefit over using the built in features on the pixel?
No idea, honestly. You might not be able to use them at the same time. I had to set Carrion to my "Caller ID & Spam Filter" app in the default app settings.
OP seems to be Chilean. Do they have do not call there?
we do. i thought i would be okay if i just didn't use the number anywhere so i didn't register. i was so wrong.
i didn't know about carrion. i don't know if it works in my country. i'll test and see. thank you.
Best of luck! I hope it works for you.
On the jerboah app, I can see you scrolling I guess that's a new feature ?
It's an animated GIF
