Tip: Try out our new Call Insider app. You can download it for free on Google Play.
How long has this service been running and who is it for?
The service was created in 2011 in the Czech Republic. It is an online forum where the users can share their experience with phone numbers, both annoying (mostly telemarketing, surveys) and useful (e.g. couriers, offices)..
Since the beginning, the service has been received very well, which led to localization into more languages. Nowadays, the forum exists in more than 20 languages and 34 countries throughout the world.
The service is intended for anyone who wants to identify the owner of an unknown phone number. The creators of the forum have also recently created the mobile app Call Insider for Android phones. This app, which is connected to the database of the website numberlookup.com.au, also allows users to automatically block telemarketing numbers.
These spam calls with international numbers, mostly from African and Southeast Asian countries, along with fake messages from unknown users, have flooded WhatsApp and Indians have nowhere to go but Twitter to share their ordeal.
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) based portal that will allow tracking and blocking of lost and stolen mobile phones.

Repeated calls, no messages left. Lengthy pause after answering, sounds like a call centre. Block it.

Called no message left. Blocked number. Received a voice text and it goes for only 3 seconds. Lots of noise in background (like a party) andthe voice who is calling is a male who sounds Indian "may" be saying something similar to "hello how are you" but it is absolutely most definately not in English. Maybe he was talking to someone and unfortunately for him because I blocked the number it went straight to voicemail when he tried calling. HOW DO YOU KEEP GETTING EVERYONES NUMBER!?!?!?!?
