I think my phone number has been sold to everyone at this point
I've had the same phone number for years and I'm starting to think there's no company left that doesn't have it. The amount of spam calls I get now is ridiculous and blocking them feels pointless because the next one just comes from a different number. What annoys me more is I have no idea where it started. I've used this number for so many things over the years that there's basically no way to trace who shared it or where it ended up.
I really don't want to change my number because everything important is connected to it, but I also don't want to keep handing it out and making the problem worse. Do you guys still use your real number when websites ask for it or have you started keeping it private somehow? (emphasis on somehow pls give me tips!)
