Freedom251 › Spam Call Blocking Apps
RealCall
What RealCall is
RealCall is a mobile app for caller ID and blocking spam or scam calls on Android and iOS. Its site says it can identify unwanted calls and block them before the phone rings, while reverse lookup lists active robocallers and recordings. GPT-4 is used to detect and block fraudulent text messages. The app can answer unwanted calls to occupy scammers, and user activity helps train its models on calling patterns. Users can customize blocking settings, but AI Blocking requires a subscription. RealCall has a free plan and advertises a free trial; the listed subscription is free for seven days, then $4.49 a month. Family Plan sharing is temporarily available only on iOS. Its privacy policy says the app may collect call and text logs, contacts, voicemail recordings, and de-identified texts from callers outside a user’s contacts. RealCall is identified as a product of Second Phone Number Inc. and began in April 2022.
