So true. My phone number has an area code from a place I never actually lived in (carry-over from a family plan, most of whom do live in said area code) and I got bombarded with calls the other day. I just assumed it was US election spam and blocked every number. Could one of them be my cousin calling from the trunk of a kidnapper’s car? Possibly. But, eh, not sure what I could really do from thousands of miles away.
Same! My area code is 2k miles from here before I moved & kept no affiliations with anyone over there, so when my phone constantly blows up with spoofed numbers from that area code, they’re so easy to ignore, report, block.

If my cousin can’t be bothered to text to arrange a time to talk, I guess they’re not getting rescued.
No worries. Your cousin would leave a voicemail.
