Okay, how do you catch them? What techical metthods can we deploy?

One thing I think could help is for the phone company to read the phone # a call comes from and ping it to see if it is “busy.” If it’s not, the call is presumed to be spoofed spam and routed to a bot-detecting task that must be completed before the call will go through. Companies using a main number could whitelist themselves if they are willing to install additional software to detect when the call actually originates from insode it.
I am not sure what you mean by "spoofing" here. I understand Internet telephony allows you to have a phone number with any area code and it will be a real phone number which one can call and get to you. It seems you can also select arbitrary number even the one which does not belong to you but in normal use you'll get a number which would be busy in your scenario.What are your ideas for how cell phone spam can be solved?

If I get a phone call that, in my personal discretion, I deem to be inappropriate, I get to ding the caller. (Presumably by pressing a certain button or code during the phone call.)
Well, it's not by design. It's natural result of how internet works. And it's not "now" it's always been that way. People should just stop paying attention to area code cause it became meaningless. Using other people phone number (without permission) that's what I would call spoofing because malicious intent is clearly present in that case. This must be stopped.I am not sure what you mean by "spoofing" here.

It is now possible for a call to appear to originate from your area code number, though it is not. It is possible to send a call that has an apparent area code that in fact is nor a real and active area code at all. These sort of tricks are spoofing.

That would cause a lot of dings for calls people don't want to receive but which are legitimate.
