I am applying to jobs currently. I am basically forced to answer every unknown call I get. And it seems like there’s a hundredfold increase in spam calls this year compared to last year.

Protip, just tell them it’s a business number. I’ve done that twice and suddenly the number of spam calls I get dropped off a cliff.

That works well for sales spam. I usually use “this is an emergency on-call number” instead. Technically it was half-true, it went to the same dual-sim phone.
But for the robo scam calls. Well, they just don’t care.

I believe both iOS and Android now support built in call screening, where a caller must leave a message about why they’re calling and you get to decide if you pick up.
Since enabling it on my iOS device, every spammer has hung up immediately, rather than leave a message or try to talk to me.
