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.

This app, which is connected to the database of the website number-lookup.co.uk, also allows users to automatically block telemarketing numbers.
