I found that when I started doing this I would just get even more calls, just not the same ones.

I presume this is because these spammers just keep selling other spammers valid phone numbers to add to their own lists.

Agreed, what I have done is just not answer my phone unless they are in my contact list. I also do not share my cellphone number with anyone. Seems like everyone wants it these days and the pandemic made it worse, so I have a Google Voice number for people who insist on having a number.

The only phone number that gets spam calls anymore is that Google Voice number.

For all other numbers, the calls have virtually stopped.

My point is I am not getting "even more" calls, at all.
