I provision fresh DIDs all the time from my VOIP vendor. Robocalls don't work off a list of numbers, they just call every number in order.

The best strategy -- get an area code that's not local and where you don't know anyone. That's what I have on my personal cell phone. Any call that comes in from that area code I know is spam. I don't answer it.

I am strongly inclined to switch over to using a 900 number as my official public number for everything. Anyone who really wants to call me can afford the small charge it would require.

Everyone else can just hang up.

Robocalls absolutely work off a list of numbers. Sure you could just load up a list of all numbers.
