Got a second sim to trial coverage around my city. It’s not even been a full week and I am bombarded with spam calls and texts. Unsure if it is election related or just everyday spam.
Your cell phone carrier is legally obligated to give you another number if you are being harassed, which this is definitely beyond any doubt harassment. Call them and be sure to use the words “I am being called constantly and harassed at my new number at all hours of the day. I am requesting a new phone number for free.” They will absolutely give you a new number based on that, free of charge.
This kind of spam is luckily pretty rare in europe, I get maybe one or two spam calls a year.
Just answer every phone call with “Hello, this is ham.” And then onwards, every single sentence you say…is about ham. But also completely unhelpful to the conversation.
“Well, Hello Mr Ham. I’m just calling today to let you know about this great oppertunity from our next presidident, Donald Trump.”
“Ham is sometimes salty”
“Uhhhh…Well, Mr Trump is seeking donations from real american patriots like yourself”
“Give me ham.”
“Ham?”
“HAM!!!”
“I don’t understand, are you saying Ham, like the food?”
“ALL THE HAM IN MY MOUTH!!!”
“Ok…we can get you some ham. We just need a donation of $50.00 today.”
“Ham runs all my descisions.”
“I…don’t understand.”
“Yes, this is ham. Can I cheese you? Right in the ham?”
“Are you ok?”
“Ham.”
This should preferably go on for 10 hours.

Answer every call (without any words!) just the sound of dial-up tones. This will probably get you marked as bot and they will stop, it worked for me. But I also only had a few
