The phone number system is so broken...
-
Scammers and spammers can DoS you by calling hundreds of times per day, each time from a different number, and all your service provider will do is shrug... saying there is no way to trace a number back to the provider, and the only "solution" they have to offer is a "new" phone number, which in fact is someone else's old number that THEY abandoned due to spam calls.

There has been several attempts to resolve that but they are complex and expensive for T1 carriers to implement. Cowards.
