After repeated data breaches that no company really seems to give a s— about my phone is blowing up with literally hundreds of spam calls and texts month. I get and make MAAAAYBE 2 or 3 important calls per month, 180-200 of the rest are literally all spam. Anyone have any suggestions, apps ect that they have found refuge with? I really don’t use SMS that much either, mostly it’s via signal, discord whats app, ect…

Just to put it out there I run CalyxOS on a Pixel 5a.

    Imagine being unemployed and looking for work.

    I have to answer every call.

    Every call is spam. The number of calls I get has increased tenfold.

    I’m certain that some of these jobs and recruitment sites aren’t actually hiring for anything. They are just collecting and selling my data.

      Shit man, I’m in the exact same boat (well, employed, but not even remotely close to being in a financially viable way). I’m so tired of answering the phone, being asked my name, and not knowing if it’s going to be one of the hundreds of jobs I’ve applied for, a debt collector, or a run of the mill spam/scam.
