Every call you make without checking the Do Not Call registry is a Federal crime" That makes me feel better but doesn't stop the calls.
I kept the cell phone number I have had since 1995 and it is from an area code (in a nearby state) where I had a home 20 years ago. I get 5 to 7 calls a day from that area code and 99% are junk so I don't answer them and I dump the call. But it is a pain in the neck to have to check the phone when it rings in case it is a call I want.
It is time to make spam callers subject to the death penalty. I'm OK with that!

If it's an important call they will leave a message, no message means robo call. I don't answer any number I don't recognize, sometimes I don't even look.
I kept my landline just for this reason. If I have to give a phone number on any kind of form or for any reason, I give my landline. I shut off the ringer and never answer that phone, just check messages.
