How to recognize an unknown number calling you for free?

Other Great Apps to Try

Truecaller isn’t the only option. Apps like Hiya, Whoscall, and CallApp also offer solid protection.

• Whoscall even works offline—great for when you’re traveling.
• CallApp lets you record calls, which can be helpful if there’s ever a dispute.

Treat Your Phone Number Like a Secret

Here’s an important tip: don’t post your phone number on public websites or social media.
Check your privacy settings on apps, and don’t give access to your contacts unless it’s really necessary. A little caution goes a long way.

Getting Harassed by Calls?

If you’re getting nonstop calls from an unknown number, it’s time to act.
Use an app to find out who’s calling, block the number, and save any evidence. If it continues, especially if it feels threatening, report it to the authorities.

Smart Habits to Stay Safe

• Sign up on Bloctel (a national “do not call” list).
• Turn on spam filters on your phone.
• Always block suspicious numbers.
• Read the fine print before joining contests or newsletters.
