How to know if business phone numbers are calling you
Table of contents:
One of the main reasons why one has thought, more than once, of getting rid of their mobile phone is the systematic harassment we face with commercial calls. Telephone operators who want you not to go to another company, who want to sell you insurance, who want to improve your electricity offer... One day and another they continue to contact you, even at odd hours. And the situation can become untenable. This is only known by those who have gone through such an ordeal.
But no, we don't have to go to the point of throwing our smartphone out the window. There are applications that are used to block unwanted numbers and even notify you if they are commercial numbers. We are going to find out how to know if business phone numbers call you thanks to the use of apps. We will focus on one that has given us great results: Truecaller.
Truecaller: identifies calls from business phones
Business phone numbers are not normally stored in the phonebook. We are not so cautious as to receive an unwanted call and save it in the agenda to never pick up again. And what may now be an unwanted call may soon interest us, either because of a specific offer. So blocking the number is also not a good idea, unless we are very clear that we do not want them to want to contact us again.
That's why Truecaller is so useful and practical: through the caller's ID, the application identifies who is bothering you. Companies usually include this information and the application takes care of making it visible on the screen. When they call you or call one of these numbers, a small information window will appear. To test the app, we have called MÁSMÓVIL and the ING customer service telephone number and it has worked perfectly.
In this window we can block the phone number, as well as call again, save it in the phonebook or send an SMS. The SMS we receive, by the way, also identifies it properly, also showing us how many people have decided to mark that number as SPAMThis also gives us an idea of how insistent some companies tend to be: ENDESA, for example, had marked almost 500 SPAM notices.
The Truecaller application is totally free although it contains ads inside. Its installation file is about 20 MB so you can download it whenever you want and it won't cost you much mobile data.
How does Truecaller work?
It is very easy to make Truecaller identify the numbers that call us. Simply, we will give the necessary permissions so that the application can work. Then, insert your phone number and they will call you. Do not answer the call, the system will do the process itself. To finish, you must register with your email, Google or Facebook account That's all, we don't have to do any more operations or anything.With the application, we can also send SMS and set it as default for such purposes.
In the application we can also call our contacts directly, view more information about the contacts that call us, as well as suggest another company name, in case the number now belongs to another company and not to the that you have been informed. To eliminate the ads you can subscribe with a monthly fee of 2 euros or 18 euros for the whole year.
