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 phonenumbers.ie, also allows users to automatically block telemarketing numbers.
WhatsApp has again become a target for scammers. Many people have complained on Twitter about receiving unknown calls from international numbers starting at +84, +62, +60, and more. Here is how to be safe and what the company has said.
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) based portal that will allow tracking and blocking of lost and stolen mobile phones.

Someone claiming to be from Amnesty International saying I'd signed up for something previously but if I had I would never have provided my work phone number which is the number they called. When I asked what it was I signed he said he couldn't actually find the specific petition. The number doesn't connect if you try to call back...fishy

Has been ringing regularly today it left a really weird electronic voice mail. I haven't rang the number back but I presume its some sort of scam

It's Amnesty International apparently. Not sure how they have my number. Already blocked them and they're still able to get through.
