I’m not American, but my country has largely moved off phone and SMS but we still get spam messages on WhatsApp and Telegram. The spam and scam will chase you wherever you go, if they haven’t, it just means those platforms aren’t popular enough in your region for them to switch to.

Americans still actively use telephony services?
I just don’t use the Phone and SMS apps. Haven’t for years. It’s old tech that’s only used by bits and scammers.
Get with the times.

Unfortunately my 70 year old neighbor is tech illiterate so they only know how to call and answer calls on the smartphone they got given by the phone service they use. Also some places i order food from have such shit online ordering or whats essentialy a test app for their app that phone calls are just so fucking easier. Heck official apps for chains dont let you log in if you have a vpn since they still go through your browser app and im NOT letting my browser through clean to order shite so again, calling works just fine.
