Increase in spam after switching to Verizon

bmcloske

I switched to Verizon (from ATT) three weeks ago and now I am receiving an increase in spam.
This is 100% real. I literally told someone yesterday about it.
Then today a friend called me and said they missed 6 calls from me, and they wanted to know if there was an emergency.
I thought maybe I b*tt dialed so I checked my phone and had no outgoing calls.
So now this means my number is being spoofed.
It is not a coincidence.
What can I do?
I found an old 2020 thread on this same topic in this community but there was no real solution offered. I'm hoping 4 years later there is something I can do besides...nothing. Or learn to live with it.
I hate it so much I am beginning to already wonder if I made a bad choice switching carriers.

I just switched from T-Mobile and am having the same problem. I get about 5-10 calls a day from potential sc*m (it won't let me write that word) to telemarketer. I block them after every call and they still continue day in and day out.

Hopefully someone can offer some input on this because it's frustrating and annoying.
