The same thing has happened to phones. Spam on my iphone got so bad I set it to block all calls on on my contact list.

My land line has become useless as all I get on it is spam calls. Don't the phone companies realize their users are going to hang up on them unless the spam problem is dealt with?

Wow! When i had a landline - many, many years ago - i got maybe 5 spam calls a year. I have had c20 in 15 years of mobile ownership.

1. EU? Possibly. 2. Do not hang up. A dead line costs them money...you'll soon be taken off the lists.
