Default Spam calls on cell phones

I never used to get them on the cell but over the last few months it's been worse. I'm also getting a few spam text messages and those who actually leave voicemails (robocallers). What gives? I'm pretty sure the Do Not Call Registry is pointless now... been on there for nearly a decade.

I get 2 calls per day from Canadian/online/us Pharmacy. it's always an indian guy that says "hello" to start with. I don't know what the hell to do about it. I ordered an inhaler from an online pharmacy when my prescription ran out and I've been getting these calls ever since.

If you have Android, download the app Extreme Call Blocker. I think I paid around $3 or $4 for it and it's been worth every penny.
