The message "Calling from an unknown number" appears on the screen of your smartphone.
Many of these calls come from telemarketing companies that try to sell you services or products that you don't know anything about.
Often such companies are located abroad. However, it happens that a real person is calling, whose number you forgot to add to your contact list. Therefore, you press the "Reply" button and hear the recorded text of the telemarketing company.
This is a typical situation, but it has a solution. We have found six applications that solve this problem.
1.TrapCall
This app is designed for operating systems Apple and Android. It's made by TelTech of New Jersey, and while it's free to download, it does cost you about $5 a month to identify your incoming number.

The application immediately sends you text message with the phone number that called you. It will also determine if this number is associated with a specific address.
In addition, it offers the possibility of blocking numbers.
"We all want to know who is calling and be able to choose whether or not to answer the call," says TelTech president Meir Cohen.
2.Truecaller
True Software Scandinavia AB, the Swedish company behind this application, claims to have 85 million subscribers worldwide.
The application uses a database that contains millions of previously identified phone numbers. The program instantly recognizes them and provides the user with the ability to block them.

Hi all! It turned out that I have been using caller ID on the iPhone for several months now. Once I turned it on, I was glad and didn’t even write about it, because I thought that everyone uses it ... Now it turned out that I was wrong and even advanced iPhone users don’t know about such a cool feature as caller ID! Now I will tell you and you will gasp, how easy it is! But for starters...
Download the app to your favorite iPhone or update the app if yours is not up to date. The caller ID function on the iPhone appeared a long time ago and I don’t even remember why I paid attention to it then ... Information about the caller ID appeared either in the 2GIS updates tab in App Store, or after the next launch of the program.
Why 2GIS? Yes, simply because the phone base of the service contains almost all organizations in the city, and therefore, if someone calls you from Romashki LLC, for example, you will immediately know about it! Yes, caller ID does not show spammers or calls from other cities/countries, but thanks for that 🙂
By the way, this way I tested on iOS 10 and on previous versions, in my opinion, does not work. But if I'm wrong and it worked for you on iOS 9, please write in the comments below!
How to enable caller ID on iPhone
After installing the 2GIS program on your iPhone, you need to go to the application and download the city that is relevant to you:
After the city is loaded, you will need to exit 2GIS and go to the Settings of the iPhone itself. There, scroll down to the Phone item, enter it and then click on “Block. and ident. call" (on my iPhone 6 it is written that way). After that, you will be taken to a new window in which there will be a coveted switch opposite the 2GIS program. By the way, there will also be a large (or not so) list of contacts blocked on your phone:
So on this screen, you need to turn the switch to the green state, next to the inscription 2GIS. That's all, if you get a call from some company that is registered in the 2GIS directory, you will know exactly who is calling you! The line under the phone number will indicate that the caller ID function on the iPhone is in action:
Well, if you saw a phone number somewhere, then you can try to calculate it by writing it into the dialing line:
It seems to be so easy to set up caller ID on the iPhone, but few people know about it. I hope that the article will be useful to you and you will be happy to share it on social networks, as well as join the group in
