In the Netherlands we have a Don't Call Me List (https://www.bel-me-niet.nl/ (call-me-not)). When you subscribe to the list it's illegal for companies to call you (for advertisement). Works very well.

We have this in the US, but companies use it to find people to call and hope you don't actually report them.

We have a service in the UK called TPS which is voluntary to adhere to. Companies use it as a telephone directory here too.
