Something changed about 1 year ago where the spam calls I get are 10x higher than in the past. It got so bad I had to change how I use my phone. Any caller not in my contact list goes immediately to voicemail.

I’ve tried several robocall blockers, but they tend to cause connectivity issues.

If anyone else has this problem, what are you using to prevent robocalls?

Pixel phones. Night and day difference from my wife’s iPhone. Same carrier. It’s simply not an issue.

I have an iPhone and I basically never get spam calls.

Interesting. To be clear I get spam calls but they are rejected or screened automatically. If I look through my call history I can see some them.

There are most certainly other factors at play.

My wife recently switched from a Samsung to a new iPhone which prompted my observation (not a pixel phone of course but still it got worse for her). All anecdata.
