     I got occasional robocalls on my earlier flip phone.  Shortly after I got 
this smart phone the number of robocalls increased significantly, and now there 
are/were the ads.  The difference may be that with the smart phone Google has 
complete access to personal data, including contact numbers.  It's very likely 
that they harvest that information and then market it.
