Tip: Try out our new Call Insider app. You can download it for free on Google Play.
How long has this service been running and who is it for?
The service was created in 2011 in the Czech Republic. It is an online forum where the users can share their experience with phone numbers, both annoying (mostly telemarketing, surveys) and useful (e.g. couriers, offices)..
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.
The service is intended for anyone who wants to identify the owner of an unknown phone number. The creators of the forum have also recently created the mobile app Call Insider for Android phones. This app, which is connected to the database of the website number-lookup.co.uk, also allows users to automatically block telemarketing numbers.
The telecom regulator has asked all telcos to deploy detection systems using artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) technologies to identify and rein in spam calls and text messages from unregistered telemarketers (UTMs).
Spam calls are annoying – suppose you are taking an important class or in a meeting and your phones start buzzing. You come out to take that call and realize it was just a promotional call or spam!

Have received numerous calls for the last month in regards to rollershutters that I never bought. Leaving many voicemails asking for different things each time. They want you to call them back but just block their number.
