CallDetector is an application designed to help users stop unwanted phone calls effectively. It provides the ability to block specific calls from companies or individuals the user does not wish to communicate with, as well as automatically blocking known scam callers to prevent fraudulent or annoying calls. This feature helps users save time and maintain a more peaceful phone experience by filtering out disruptive calls.
The app offers a variety of features including scam call blocking, blocking calls from unknown or anonymous callers, and categorizing calls by type such as telemarketers, political callers, or financial account services. It also includes CallerYD®, a service that not only identifies who is calling but also explains why they are calling, giving users more context before answering. Additionally, users can perform unlimited real-time caller ID lookups and reverse number searches to know more about incoming calls.
CallDetector is equipped with tools to notify call centers immediately about suspicious or unwanted calls, allowing prompt action. Users can file Federal Trade Commission complaints against telemarketers or unlawful collection activities directly through the app. The application is ad-free and is available free of charge for users who are loyal customers of specific mobile brands, including TracFone Wireless, Net10 Wireless, SafeLink Wireless, Straight Talk, and others.
To enjoy all of the app’s features for free, devices must be running CallDetector version 3.0 or higher on Android 4.4 or above. Users not associated with the listed brands will get a limited “Lite” version, which offers basic scam protection, call blocking, and complaint filing. Some features like CallerYD® are only available for certain caller types. The app requires a network connection to provide real-time caller ID information, and the developers encourage users to share feedback and support questions via their support FAQ page.
