If someone want me to test it. PM me your cellphone number and I'll see if I can find a name.
Park, can I give you mine and you can see what comes up?

Ok. So test results.
User not registered: Does not find number
User registered: Finds name and number
User part of a registered users phonebook: Does not find number.
I'm okay with this.

Fair enough, so it's voluntary.

Yeh, and it is at least your number.
But think about it... you have to know a person's number, before you can get their name... a name isn't really a private thing, is it?

Yeah, I suppose so. Our contacts are names these days rather than numbers too, so probably quite a useless feature unless you want to play at finding names.
With all the permissions this app want??? Phone says Noooo.

You don't need to give it access to FB. Permissions explained here: http://www.truecaller.com/support#/Truedialer/a9
Please consider downloading the app called - Sensorly
It maps the signal strengths for your carrier onto a worldwide map database, which you can access. Still a number of cities in South Africa need sweeping for coverage. Simply download the app, and leave it running in the background as you commute to work. Once a route has been done once, you don't need to do it again. Then log into their website and see how your drive has mapped your suburb....see areas with weak signal/strong signal 4G/3G/2G etc.
It is great when used to compare, on a map, how well the different carriers cover the roads you travel frequently. It might even influence who you next sign your cell contract with after checking the map.
Check out your city map here to see if someone has been sweeping your city for coverage. Remember to type in your city name, and carrier, to see a map of your city and the coverage for your carrier
www.sensorly.com
Thanks, it's a fantastic app, but is only as good as the amount of people that can contribute to mapping their carriers coverage

I'm actually of the opposite opinion. After Swiftkey's last big update, they fixed the things that have bothered me. No more lagginess at all.
What's bothering you? My second choice is Swype.
