Hi all, through my experience, the third party apps that are supposed to do this a pure trash. I mean true caller was pretty decent, but it was packed with ads and trackers of course and the overbearing permissions that constantly tries hijacking my set SMS and dialer apps… I don’t think using a third party app is the right solution.

I came across an internet protocol called NCID which is network callet ID, which sounds quite interesting, but strangely there is little documentation and virtually no online community discussion about this.

So I’m wondering what are some good caller ID options available? I’m a private person and I like knowing who is calling also, would like to stop spam. I’m sure there’s a whole world dedicated to this such stuff, but I can’t seem to find the solution. And tips or advice or anything would be great. Thanks

    Hey thanks dude. I’m currently trying to use yet another call blocker and it isn’t doing shit. Do you HAVE to set it as your default phone app? I currently have simple dialer as default phone but yet another call blocker set as the default caller ID and spam blocker, though its doing nothing…

      AFAIK only put it as the blocker ID within Android settings, it should block stuff.

        Ok, I think I had to enable monitoring service in the settings. Haven’t received any calls yet to see lol but at least when I open yacb, I now see the added business names and ratings and reviews
