Now when I get a 312 call I have to play the game “Hmm 99% likely it’s a spammer *or* maybe my parents are calling from a doctor’s office.”

Unexpected bonus from moving to a new area code: almost all unknown calls in new area code are legit. Almost all unknown calls from my phone’s area code are spam. The rest are in my contacts.

I won this lottery with the 202 (Washington, DC) area code. Robocalls in Hebrew and Cantonese, one wrong number hoping to reach an (apparently gorgeous?) Norwegian diplomat (“sorry man, she’s gone..”) and the occasional shocked person answering whose first guess is “White House?”

Bonus for my phone’s area code (509): high proportion of Spanish speakers means high proportion of Spanish spam calls, so even if I missed the home area code, I get another quick tell.

One of the funniest spam calls I’ve ever seen go down: my dad’s work phone rings. He’s a cow veterinarian & has learned enough Spanish for that context. He hears lots of unfamiliar Spanish, asks “Tiene una problema con sus vacas?” and gets immediately hung up on.
