I had to disable my call blocker (TrueCall) so I could let through a call

of leaving a message.

And the spam calls started again near right away. But didn't annoy as much
as before since I now have the means to block them.

I've decided to implement a very agressive call-blocker which blocks
almost all unknown callers (i.e witheld, faked numbers etc). This has
taken a long time for me to decide, but I think the risk of missing
the odd legit call is worth it.

The TrueCall is good in that you enter your phone book and it lets any on
that straight through. Any others have to jump through hoops to leave a
message. Which I'd say no spam caller is going to bother with. It's also
easy to disable - if you simply switch off the mains to it, it routes the
lines straight through. Quicker than entering a code. Downside is it isn't
free.
