We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.

Microsoft robo call

This is what I use on my landline. Stop robocalls and telemarketers with Nomorobo . If the calling number is on the list the phone rings once and the call gets redirected. IMHO the do not call list has turned into a please call list.

 

Microsoft robo call

There may be some legitimate marketeers that pay attention to the DO NOT CALL list but many don't bother to check. The scammers have nothing to lose by ignoring it.

Our land line has been on the DO NOT CALL list for years (and I even check it occasionally to make sure it's still there). We still get multiple robocalls and an occasional real human scammer almost every day.
