And specifically India.
I get tons of calls from Google Ads' support team for all of my US-based accounts, trying to talk me into hopping on support calls.
No matter how many times I yelled at them, they are compensated for accounts they were able to book a call with, so you can guess it never ends, most often than not - I get multiple calls per day from different people about the same accounts (despite all being assigned to my agency's rep.. I really can't get any stupider than that).

I need to block the calls from India. Any reliable way to do that on Android without TrueCaller?
 
Google your phone type and look for how to block incoming calls from country.

It should be under Settings > Call Blocking Rejection you can then add the code country code from there or specific numbers.

On my work phone I have to click the green button then the 4 dots to get to call blocking settings.

Edit:

On my personal phone I got to go to phone icon > settings (4 dots) > click blocked, > block rules > blocklist > add

In there you can just add the region code like +91 and press save.
 
You can ask your network provider to do it but if they use a fake American number or fake another country not stop that calls

Nah that's not the case, but @t2van solved it, I think.
Didn't receive calls from Google Ads India since then.

I see could do it with o2 before did it in the past that stopped the calls easy for like 95% of them.

We don't have o2 here :)
 
You might think I’m playing around but this is what I do:

DO NOT CALL TAKE ME OFF YOUR LIST NO CALLING

You won't believe the number of times I did that. The problem is they are compensated per meetings they book, so they send tons of emails and call tons of times. I can't take back the authorization I gave Google to call me because it puts my agency's personal rep in a tough spot (the cool rep with all the good insights and beta features).

Wild. Get a new number lol
 
Years ago, I used an app called Mr. Number for this. I have no idea if it’s still any good, though.
 
Since moving to Lanka I was receiving shittons of spam sms and no fuckin way to unsubscribe (I mean, theorethically you could, but then they send again, hahaha) so I got this, supposedly works for calls too:

f-droid.org

SpamBlocker (Call & SMS) | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

Spam Call/SMS blocker
f-droid.org f-droid.org

But now it broke and I don't see any sms notifications at all 😆. Which somehow doesn't bother me 😆. But yeah, use at your own risk, idk if app is broken after an update or I clicked something wrong but I don't see shit so I'm happy.
