thats fine for most individuals but hospitals and doctors offices for those with medical issues. Well that makes it hard. They often to not call from the “official number”.
Yea, I hear ya. Lots of shitty apps these days with excessive perms.
I root, run a firewall, and lock the little bastards down. No, you don’t get location perms. No, you don’t launch at boot, or when I plug in to charge, or when a media button is pressed. So many shitty receiver registrations, and running in the background. Nope, removing that too.
I just don’t even want a smart phone. I have one for work because I have to but only work stuff goes on it. Im surprised most will run like that. I have a hard time getting them to run on a tablet.
I just have any calls that aren’t from my contacts forwarded to Google voice using Yet Another Call Blocker.

Besides, I don’t use my phone number for calls - that all happens with messengers these days (Telegram, etc), so I know you’re a telemarketer anyway.

Yea, that sucks.
For those I give my Google voice number.
Not an elegant solution, for sure. Fortunately my Healthcare system also uses video calls via their app for security purposes.
Not sure what else can really be done.
oh the word app (assuming cell phone) and me do not mix.
