Same thing in France. I wonder if phone spam exists elsewhere than in USA (in UK perhaps) ?

I'm from France and we get daily spam, especially at night. My parents don't even use their landline for that reason.

My parents in France get spam calls on their land-line phone almost everyday.
It almost never occurs with mobile phones though.

In the Netherlands, I get called unsolicited and for marketing purposes maybe once a month. The call is always by a human, I’ve never been called by a robot.
As soon as I notice it’s a marketing call I just hang up and if it’s not a hidden number, I add it to my “blocked numbers” contact, which I have blocked from incoming calls on my iPhone.

I have mobile numbers in HK, mainland China and UK. I get zero spam on the UK number, and daily spam calls on the other two, although they hang up as soon as they realise I speak neither Cantonese nor Mandarin, which is a good enough spam filter for me :)

Seriously? If my phone makes any kind of noise and/or presents any text or other media that I have to look at and/or dismiss then it is not enough spam filtering for me.

Nothing much in the UK, maybe once a month if you’re unlucky
