Scammers and spammers can DoS you by calling hundreds of times per day, each time from a different number, and all your service provider will do is shrug... saying there is no way to trace a number back to the provider, and the only "solution" they have to offer is a "new" phone number, which in fact is someone else's old number that THEY abandoned due to spam calls.
