Do you use Truecaller?

Do you use Truecaller, or similar, to identify who is calling?

Do you?

Never used it.

 

[bwana]

Do you?

Never used it.

I have it installed but it doesn't seem to work. Probably haven't set it up correctly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If someone is calling then I probably don't want to talk to them.

 

[BBSA]

I did, but it was spamming me....

 

[Dan C]

Nobody calls me ever, not even telemarketers.

 

[R13...]

Nobody calls me ever, not even telemarketers.

You should get a working phone for them to call

 

[3WA]

Nope. Tried it back in the days when I used an Android (Nexus5X), and it caused so much lag and freezing that I missed half my calls.

 

[RyanPCMR]

Yes, so much that I got paid version even. Works for those robocallers especially and scammers. The feature that makes it work is the feature that is against the law.

[Not_original]

No but I like to save my work contacts in a descriptive way, company, equipment type, name is often used. Don't think it would be appreciated by the person if they show up as Volvo generator Sally

How would they know? If they're close enough to see your screen...

Phone by Google is as good with less bloat. Truecaller does handle spam better though. I use CallApp because I don't like TrueCaller's bloat, but CallApp has unnecessary bloat too.

For all Android users I recommend Phone by Google. For those who have a Samsung use Smart Call (Hiya is good too) and it is native.

 

[Fulcrum29]

Yeah, Truecaller is very unresponsive. CallApp is miles better, but I still recommend Phone by Google.

These days I just talk to spammers when they call me. Sometimes we share a laugh, sometimes they get annoyed and hang up on me. But either way, it leaves me in a better mood.

I don't have a solution for robo-calls though.

Truecaller would tell other people that’s who they are.

I despise telemarketers, yet, I understand that it is a job. My problem is that when I say, "no", it is a no, and some spam callers just find that unfathomable, especially the insurance sellers, and I am someone who admires persistence.

Then there are the law firms, and collectors, calling for debt who are as thick as their call lists. The amount of times I have to tell these people that I am not the droid they are looking for, ugh.

 

[xrapidx]

Yes, dual SIM phone, linked to my data number, with a fake name and email address.

 

[bwana]

Truecaller would tell other people that’s who they are.

And it would be attributed to him?

 

[Fulcrum29]

Also, don't get me started on robocallers.
