    Australia has a “do not call register”. It seems to mostly work, but telcos are having trouble with calls originating from outside the network with spoofed caller ID. We still get spam/scam calls from India among other places.

    Even if they’re not calling you directly, they are still using your phone number to link you to things and create a shadow profile behind the scenes.
