At that point, I decided not to let Truecaller filter my spam texts. Fortunately, this is an optional feature and you can choose to leave it turned off. If you have iOS 13 or later, to stop calls from people you don’t know you can turn on a feature called Silence Unknown Callers. This is also done in Settings app. Go to Settings > Phone, scroll down, then select Silence Unknown Callers. Seamlessly record both incoming and outgoing calls within your app to enhance your productivity with these handy features:
Some companies may use online or paper phone books to find numbers to target with sales calls. Ask for your phone number to be excluded from directories – this will stop companies from finding out your number in this way.
You will find your unique 12-digit serial number on the barcode label on the underside of your trueCall unit. Ghost Call - set any name, number and photo to make it appear as if you are getting a call from that person
The BT8500 is simply a must-have, it's the best home phone I've ever used
My service provider offers built-in spam call protection, which has been working well for me so far without having to worry about sharing sensitive data with a third-party app. If I didn’t already have this built-in protection, I would consider keeping Truecaller to help differentiate important calls from spam. On the whole, the TPS is very effective, and reputable organisations and businesses take it very seriously because it’s a legal requirement that companies do not make calls to numbers that are registered. But some still flout these rules. Also, the TPS only applies to UK-based companies making unsolicited sales and marketing calls – it doesn’t apply to market research calls, calls from companies where you have 'opted in', or calls from companies based abroad. 2. Keep your name off sales call lists trueCall’s database will hold details of your call records and the operation of your trueCall unit. This will help us to provide you with support for your trueCall unit, and allows us to analyse the call records of tens of thousands of trueCall users to identify nuisance calling patterns. We share anonymised calling data with regulation and enforcement authorities to help them prevent further nuisance calls. Truecaller Assistant: The Only Call Screening Solution Available on iOS Devices (US, CA, AU, CL and ZA )
Most of the major landline phone providers now offer a free service to reduce the number of nuisance calls that you receive. Here’s what’s on offer from the biggest providers: BTTruecaller automatically detects if a foreign language is used in the messaging screen and will show that a translation is available The first time you start up Truecaller, you'll be walked through some features before the app attempts to send your phone a confirmation message via SMS to confirm the phone is legit. For some reason, my activation SMS never so I tried calling Truecaller as prompted. This also didn't work, but the app suddenly completed setup and let me into the app without further warning. It uses machine learning and speech-to-text technology to ask questions to the caller, helping you find out who they are and the reason for the call. I didn’t have any problems or major complaints when testing out Truecaller myself, but I likely won’t keep the app installed on my phone.
