How to find out who is calling from an unknown number

On Android, there are a huge number of applications for determining the number, but the best ones are solutions from Google, Yandex and Kaspersky Lab. They have an extensive database of phone numbers and in most cases easily determine who is calling you, prompting you to pick up the phone or not. Another thing is that the subscribers they define are limited only to corporate numbers. That is, it will be either banks, or retail chains, or delivery services and others like them. But they cannot determine what kind of person is calling you. But there is a solution.

The most famous application that allows you to identify exactly the users who are calling you – individuals – is, of course, GetContact. Many people think that it is needed only in order to understand how you are recorded in other people. But this is only a side function. After all, what difference does it make to you who signed you how? It’s cool to look at it once, but for the sake of this, you will definitely not keep a separate application on a permanent basis. And don’t, because GetContact will tell you who is calling you, even if this person is not registered with you.

How to use GetContact on Android

• Download GetContact app from Google Play;
• Run it and grant the required permissions;

• Open “Settings” – “Default Applications” ;;
  • In the Calls section, select GetContact;
  • In your GetContact app, enable the overlay feature.

From now on, the GetContact application will work on your smartphone as a standard “Phone” application, replacing the dialer that you used before. In general, there is nothing to worry about, although you are probably used to your current dialer. After all, now you will have the opportunity to see who is calling you, even if you have never communicated with him. It’s just that the service will automatically pull up information about how this subscriber is registered with others and show it to you.

It is important to understand that by agreeing to use GetContact, you are giving the application access to your notebook. He will study it and compare how you have different people recorded, saving this information to his database. It may scare someone – you never know what. But, on the other hand, because you yourself want to know how you are recorded by others, and this information is obtained only in this way. So do not worry, especially since GetContact does not indicate who exactly registered subscribers in one way or another in their contacts.

Find out how it is recorded in the phone from others

However, there is a slight hitch here. Since GetContact has an extensive database of numbers, it will find almost any subscriber and show you who is calling you. Because of this, confusion can arise when you see someone else’s number with a name and do not remember who it is. Therefore, you need to keep in mind that you are using GetContact, and it was he who determined the name of the caller, and not you yourself wrote it down. But this is more likely not a problem, but a feature of the service.

In this way, I myself have identified a bunch of people who called me. Another thing is that often the names “Andrey brother”, “Peter work”, “Renat chief editor” will not tell you about anything at all, because they make sense only for those who wrote down these people in this way. Nevertheless, it is better to have an idea of ​​who is calling you than to pick up the phone from someone unknown, risking an unpleasant conversation. So use GetContact. It’s really convenient.
