I get almost no spam calls now, Google has call spam blocking built into Pixel phones and I went from a few spam calls a week to maybe 1 or 2 a month. And those 1 or 2 calls ring with a red warning that they're potential spam calls.

For reference, I've had the same New Jersey mobile number since 2001.

I believe it's an Android Oreo feature, not specific to the Pixel. I picked up a Nokia 6 for my dad and was surprised to see it blocking.

Google Voice has had spam lists forever, it's likely they are pooling the data from there.

T-Mobile does have the ScamID/block thing that can be controlled by shortcode. Documentation here https://explore.t-mobile.com/callprotection
