I hardly use my phone anymore. More than half of the calls I receive are robocalls.
I'd get rid of phone service if I could still call 911.

The new rule is if I don't know who it is via caller ID (by having an existing contact show), I immediately decline the call. If they leave no voicemail, that's it. If they leave a voicemail, I listen. 95% of those are the robocaller messages, in which then the number is added to a robocaller contact that is blocked -- and now contains close to 300 phone numbers.
anyone who knows you will text you.

You can also look at cheaper cell phone plans. Some of the prepaid ones are ~$40 a year if you don't care about using it much. You could just turn off the ringer.
Take your SIM card out and give it a shot (kidding, don't...).
