I no longer do, but only because I recently learned that some carriers allow you to block them completely, before they ever reach the phone. For example, on T-mobile, you just dial #662# to activate it, #632# to deactivate it, and #787# to check if it's currently enabled.

I have T-Mobile and a Pixel. With their blocking measures combined, it's very rare that I get robocalls.

Wait, what? Would that work on Ting?

#787# and #632# work for me on Ting with an X3 SIM, but #662# says "unable to process request." I'm guessing you actually need to be a T-Mobile customer to use the service.
