Spam calls increased

[Rajaji]

Lately receiving lot of spam calls on PM numbers. Sometimes even the phone will display spam as id. 

Most of them are the same area code as mine so I tried to call back couple of times but as usual the number is not in service. 

Anyone found any solution to that yet?

phone features, both Android and iPhone have it

but you need to keep your contacts list well, anyone not on the contacts would sent to voicemail directly.  And it is true, spammer can still get to voicemail and usually you have a vm alert with empty voice message

Do you know that silence the unknown caller is phone specific feature or service provider?

spam calls is not something carrier can control, so, PM really has no control

if your number is a new one you got from PM, you can try to get another number.  4 number changes per cycle  are allowed

if your have an old number, number much you can do as you likely rather keep the number.  If you keep your contact updated , you can try the feature to Silent unknown callers on your phone
