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.

    This kind of spam is luckily pretty rare in europe, I get maybe one or two spam calls a year.

      It only started this year for me (had this number for 15 years or so), and it’s mostly numbers from the UK and India for some reason (I’m in Germany).

      They’re more frequent with landline phones. I suppose because calling a mobile phone is comparatively more expensive here in Europe. (And probably also because the US puts less effort into protecting it’s citizens and customers.)
