When I moved from the UK to USA it was the same in reverse. I had just got a new phone and number and immediately started getting spam calls and texts. I asked my colleagues how I could report or block these and they didn't really have an answer. OFCOM in the UK largely deals with spam and when I've had spam it's usually been that it comes from outside the UK but will still eventually get blocked

If I get spam in the UK it's often just a one-off tax scam doing the rounds (which stops once you forward it to, say, HMRC), but mainly recruiters. Once one recruiter has your email and phone number you can bet that every other recruiter in the country also has it.

I'm fairly certain I was told to sign up to the Do Not Call Registry (https://www.donotcall.gov/) which did absolutely nothing.
