Port Phone number to twilio
Set up call rules for incoming messages. Drop off calls from the same area code three digits as your number.
Then forward to your phone
You can do the same for SMS.
I want one step further, and got a new number in Montana, the least dense state. And I know if any messages or calls come in from a Montana number it's purely spam, so I drop those calls.
You can go a couple steps further, get a bunch of twilio numbers, and give them out to different businesses when they require a phone number. Then if you ever drop the relationship with that business, you can drop the number and if the number leaks you know where it came from.
