verizon is actually doing a decent job with this. i'm down from 4-6 a day to 1 or so a week, and those few that get through are usually labeled 'potential spam'. guessing that's due to implementation of 'stir/shaken' cid verification.

Google Fi has pretty much eliminated spam entirely. And even when the occasional spam call makes it through -- all unknown numbers to the Google screener. My phone pretty much just eats all the spam and lets me know when it does with a passive notification, if anything at all.
