It’s easy to get caught up in the hubbub of our day-to-day, and the last thing you need is to get bogged down by calls you’ll regret picking up. Effectively blocking spam calls, Getcontact will help give you peace of mind whenever the phone rings.

What we love: Always knowing who’s on the other end of the line – even if they’re not saved in our Contacts. Spam calls will be indicated as such in the caller status, and when you miss a call from an unknown number, you can identify it using Getcontact’s database. Better still, choose to automatically block all spam calls under Settings > Spam Settings.

Quick tip: Find out what tags are assigned to your number by other Getcontact users. From the home screen, tap Other, then Confirm Your Profile. This will pull up a list of names linked to you. Sort through it to choose which tags you want displayed publicly in the app’s database, and which ones you want to delete. You can also choose to hide your profile entirely or reject new tags, giving you more control over your profile.
