I just want there to be consequences for the abuse of the phone system and harassment that results. Nobody cares though.

The phone company will change your number if you want. The FCC will let you report these - one call at a time.

I actually thought about making an app to let me submit a report with a single click. If I started submitting 40-80 reports a week, would that get anybody’s attention? Would somebody at the FCC contact T-Mobile on my behalf and ask them to actually help me with this? Probably not.

Agreed. It basically makes my phone useless as a phone. I generally don't answer unrecognized calls unless I'm up for messing with a scammer, because that's who is usually calling. When I am expecting a phone call that's a problem because I sometimes don't recognize the number so don't answer. And my voicemail inbox is often just filled with this garbage.
