There is no need to change your number. You can always block that number free of charge via the Selective Call Rejection service.

To block the last number to call you:
1. After the number you want to block has called you, dial 14258 on your phone
2. Confirm that you want to block the number by dialling #01#
The last number to call you will now be blocked.

To block a specific number:
1. Dial 14258
2. Dial the # key then the number followed by the #key
3. The number you’ve entered will now be blocked from calling you

Or you could consider callsafe.

Only numbers you authorise can then get through.

Spam calls do not announce themselves so will never get through.

Before I went data only, i didnt het a pam call in over 5 years.

Details can be found here.
