    I get the logic. If it’s some random ass number and you’re stranded with no charger, why waste time on what might be a spam call? That and I don’t want one of the last things I hear to be someone talking about car insurance

          Weird. Yeah since like 2009 I have almost never seen a spam call come from the same number twice. I’m in the US.

              The same number always calls you? It’s typically a new number every time for my spam calls.

                  They always use the same zip code though which I appreciate.

                  I no longer live where I got my first cellphone and I am okay not talking to anyone who still lives there. Makes it easy to ignore.

                It is both a new number every half hour or so, but the same number in a row. Once they call me between 2 and 20 times. They change numbers

              I’ve been getting the same thing! Usually in the morning, too. It’s very annoying. Glad to know I’m not alone, at least?

                You can call from anywhere and the world and declare your ‘Phone Number’ to be whatever you want. It’s an absolute joke.

          I never get these calls. My secret? I never give my phone number out to anyone except hospitals and other health related professions.

          When I gave out my number I got them all the time.

      I would’ve put my phone on power saving mode if I was stranded. It’s good for 2 or 3 days. That’s without a battery bank or solar panel I would’ve had in my pack.
