We all know one day this reflection: but who owns this phone number? If you hate receiving calls from strangers, then the Who's Calling app is for you. Thanks to it, you will finally be able to know the name of your correspondent before even picking up..
How do you know who is behind a number?
As smartphones become more and more sophisticated, the identification of callers still poses as many problems. Who has never seen the number of an unknown person displayed on the screen of their Android smartphone ?
Admittedly, it's frustrating not to know the identity of the person who calls you before you pick up. Sometimes it even happens that we regret having taken the call. Unfortunately the Android call identification system only works if the correspondent's number is already present in your address book.
Identify an unknown number on your smartphone
If you're looking for a simple and effective method to find out who's behind a mysterious phone call, you've come to the right place. Indeed, the Orange mobile operator with its application Who Calls me offers Android users to identify unknown callers..
How does Who calls me?
Once Qui m'appelle is installed on your smartphone, with each phone call, the application will automatically search the reverse directory of the 118 712 service for the name of your correspondent. So even before picking up you will have on your mobile screen all the important data on the person trying to reach you (their name, address, activity and possibly their photo).
- Open the Google Play Store
- Download the app who calls me
- Once installed, click on the icon to launch the app
- Select the Settings section
- Make sure that the Activate for calls and Activate for SMS options are in the Yes position
Now, as soon as an unknown person from your contact list tries to reach you, the application will automatically search for their name. The latter can even, if you wish, read aloud (voice synthesis) the information on your correspondent..
Obviously if the latter has asked to appear on the red list , the app will not be able to provide you with their personal details. Unfortunately, this is the case for many mobile phone numbers.
The Who Calls me app is available for free on the Play Store. Note that it works whatever your mobile operator. If you are not an Orange subscriber, you can take advantage of this service for free.
