Hi all, through my experience, the third party apps that are supposed to do this a pure trash. I mean true caller was pretty decent, but it was packed with ads and trackers of course and the overbearing permissions that constantly tries hijacking my set SMS and dialer apps… I don’t think using a third party app is the right solution.
I came across an internet protocol called NCID which is network caller ID, which sounds quite interesting, but strangely there is little documentation and virtually no online community discussion about this.
So I’m wondering what are some good caller ID options available? I’m a private person and I like knowing who is calling also, would like to stop spam. I’m sure there’s a whole world dedicated to this such stuff, but I can’t seem to find the solution. And tips or advice or anything would be great. Thanks
We still have a home phone and pretty much do not give out our cell number. So we get very few junk cell calls.
One thing I have been thinking. One way to block a lot of calls is have a phone number in an area code that you do not know anyone. Then block that entire area code and those around it if needed. Most of our junk calls come from the area code of the phone number.
Like others have said the most effective is to send everything to voice mail except what you white list. We do not do that but maybe we will get there.
