I don't know about most phones supporting that, probably depends on the market.

But best I can tell, 80% of my spam calls are just war dialing; a new number would get war dialed just as much. Probably wouldn't get collections calls for my deadbeat cousin though.

Physical dual-SIM support is very market based (Popular in Asia).

I believe most reasonably modern phones should support at least one active eSIM in addition to the physical SIM now.

That's the worst! I had a collection agency keep calling consistently for a particular family member.

I got fed up, told the caller that I hadn't seen her in years and she could be dead in a ditch for all I knew, then asked if he could call me if he got a hold of her.

They never called again.

I switched to low population area codes and that helped a lot. Currently getting 0-3/mo.

308 is low pop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_code_308
