My aged mother gets a lot of spammy calls. If she hears the phone at all, she generally says "it's one of THOSE calls" and doesn't answer it anyway. This means no family member now rings her, but as she can't hear or understand what you're talking about anyway, no bother. We only keep her phone because there's other tech in there now for various safety reasons.
Anyway, only yesterday I tried her built in BT call blocky thing. Dial 1572 from handset and it talks you through the various options and explains what happens if you turn on the features for withheld, international and blacklisted numbers, as well as a system for whitelisting your own. For her, I turned on pretty well everything that can block.
Don't know if it might offer something there, Pat, that you haven't already tried. Free, anyway.
