    Maybe try Carrion from F-Droid? And call the national do not call registry. Both of those ended my spam call epidemic.

      In our country the national do not call registry is fake.

      We are so smart that we gave the management of it to a “non profit” foundation that charges legal call centers millions of euros. It’s 10000x cheaper to ignore the law and call people illegally from abroad. If get caught (very hard as numbers are spoofed, not illegal to spoof a number) pay the slap on the wrist and continue operating illegally

        That bites, I didn’t trust the US one. But I had a corporate number to test it on and so far these seem to be working. Carrion might work in your country but I think it is maintained by a US university. It blocks unsigned calls. Dont really know what that means but the spam stopped.

    You’re likely to have been given a number which was previously used a fair amount. You could call your phone company and ask for a new number. At least that’s how it works here.

    If I understand correctly you are just using the sim for data. Just forward the calls to a number that doesn’t exist. That’s what I did with my data sim. Worked well

    I mean, at least they’re all from your country.

    My company issued everyone iPhones for work and I keep getting calls from Mexico.

    Whoever had the number before you likely gave it out to any service that asked.

    Since you only use it for data, I recommend contacting your provider and asking for a different number.

    Does your internets take a little break while these call?

    I wonder if you can just call-forward to your ex… 🤔

    I’m glad that I live in the EU. I don’t even remember when I got my last spam call, that was many years ago.
