What can I do to stop all the spam calling.?

I get more than 10 calls a day some from verified phone numbers others just show a person’s name. All these call are to offer insurance, asking if I want to sell my home and some are just ridiculous they are spam. I have blocked as many as I can and even have a spam blocker but they are not helping. My phone number is  listed, so I like to know if I change it and make it private will this stop all the calling? I hate to change my number as I had it for over 10 yrs. Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Since my phone number is on the Do-Not-Call list, I report all telemarketing calls as attempted fraud in Scam Shield. I get very few SPAM calls, one or two per week. Scam Shield works pretty well.

    Same with me but Google assistant screening the calls that do get through is a nice option.

    Have you tried out Scam Shield? It is a pretty cool feature that has a free and premium version. The app makes it really easy to manage.

    If you have an Android use Google assistant to screen calls not in you contacts.
