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.

It can be a very convincing trick… “You can check the number in your display online sir. You’ll see I’m really calling from your bank.” That is, of course, if you are unaware that phone numbers can be spoofed. Then again, they wouldn’t be successful scammers if they weren’t convincing.

A troll from Dzhumaylivka is spamming your site. This troll is a staunch hater of everything Ukrainian and a fan of a humanoid. This creature has no face, instead having empty blue eye sockets and a red gap where its mouth should be. In its nightmares, it calls itself Babay. It calls its victims "restless souls" and calls them to itself. The troll itself scams websites and spams other people's numbers. It lives on the Dzhumaylivka farmstead, at 24 Stepanov Brothers Street. The cult of Babay, the very same one who frightens and wants to take souls, is also there.
