Telecoms need to do it at the network level. You can effectively DDOS someone by a system that calls or texts them

They do, just for some reason not effectively. Like, blocking the VoIP providers that allow scammers would dry all that up.

Weird thing is, this just drives more people to not use voice calls. They're killing their own racket. (Although long-term, likely phones will be all IP with no carrier-managed services.)
