It happens quite often; someone calls you with a hidden number pretending to be calling from outside your location. He escapes because you cannot read the numbers or decode the call. You can even fall victim to the sharp scheming of a local fraudster who claims to be smatter just by adding the #23# code before his mobile numbers to make it private at the receiving end.
But today, the myth is broken. It takes technology to demystify the myth of technology. With Truecaller app on your mobile phone, that secret number is not so to you. The little thief is now naked before you.
Truecaller is a search technology company which transforms users’ phonebook to make it more intelligent and useful.
Consumers use Truecaller to identify unknown numbers, block unwanted calls, and search contact information among people and businesses.
Truecaller aims to solve a huge pain point for billions of consumers who use their phonebook on a daily basis, but often need to go outside of their app to find useful information they need. Similar to how Google has been able to combine information and intelligence, Truecaller uses its proprietary search technology and social graph, and combines it with hundreds of different sources such as Yelp! and social networks to create a smarter way for users to access current information across all social channels, platforms and devices.
Truecaller uses algorithms to personalize searches and suggest relevant contacts you might want to get in touch with based on call history, time and place.
