I've got a great solution for their calls reduction problem, and our spam calls received problem: Add a "report spam" USSR code you can call after every call received, or SMS received, in which case the spammer gets hit with a 50x tariff.

And call it "Please don't call me".

Those number seem to imply that people are now actually using the data that they pay for. This is not how things are meant to be.

No wonder my data keeps on disappearing.
