Is it worth registering my number with the federal government (which presumably already has access to my information) to avoid spam calls? Does it work? Is there a downside?

    It did until the Trump administration. Also most of the violators are from overseas using spoofed numbers.

      Same. I’ve had mine registered since its inception in 2003. It worked great for a while. Now I get at least 10 spam calls a day.
