I get 2-3 spam texts and calls per month. About 1/2 fake my mobile # off by 1 digit near the end, a trick to make me "think its a number I know"

I'm on ALDI which is an MVNO overlay on Telstra wholesale. Maybe ALDI do worse for source detect?

(there is no difference between SMS and calls in regard to CLI faking. I don't know about RCS, its possible RCS gets rid of this problem. ALDI doesn't have RCS, its not ubiquitous, has to be enabled in the phone profile by the provider)
