All my spam is in Chinese. I don't answer most calls from numbers I 
don't recognize, and in mobile phones there's usually a 'block as spam' 
button somewhere.

We've got NoMoRobo hooked up to the house xfinity voip, which usually 
means it rings once and goes away.   Haven't yet added it to my cell.  I 
use a Google Voice number about half the time anyway.
