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 caller 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
Sounds interesting. What exactly is stir shaken? I’ve recently come across that term
It’s basically a method of verifying the call originated from the number shown in the caller id. The scammers and spammers using voip phones often spoof their caller id to appear legitimate. In doing so they fail that verification. Like I mentioned, sometimes there are false positives, but you can always add the number to your contacts to let the call through. https://www.fcc.gov/call-authentication
Ohhh OK so hypothetically if it passess stir shaken, then it should reveal the caller I’d name info too right?
