This is very helpful, in Mexico, we have a couple of government-provided services where you register to not get advertise/financial calls, when you do, you can report them, and, in theory, the organizations could get considerable bills due to this violation.

I have been thinking that we should make an app to automate the reporting process.

A fun detail is that the government sells the lists of people that do not want to get contacted.

Also, lately, I have been getting many calls that are supposedly coming from the UK.

Australia has a similar program running called the Do Not Call Register. Does not really stop anything apart from the legally running telemarketers.

Obviously does nothing to stop the phishing calls from overseas (typically compromised) voip services that overstamp local numbers.

Additionally the register has carveouts for calls such as charities, political groups, and research calls (polling).

Anecdotally, I have been getting the ocassional spam texts from the UK, but all from numbers registered with O2. It's pretty useless to associate any origin and come to conclusions without a large amount of data. (That and the use of CLI overstamping means that it could be from anywhere)
