The UAE have solved the call spam problem pretty easily: a centralized registry of no-call phone numbers to which you can add your number from your provider’s mobile app.
Anybody who wants to call you to offer services or goods has to check your number against the database. If it’s there, they can’t call. Penalties for those who do.
It’s simple, and it works. I get zero spam over the phone.
Meanwhile, I get so many spam calls in Russia that I have to put my phone in the “block anyone not in my contacts” mode.
