Getcontact

Caller ID and spam control

Getcontact helps identify unknown callers and block unwanted calls, including telemarketing and suspected scam numbers. Its caller information comes from a community-built database, so it is most useful for people who regularly receive calls from unfamiliar or nuisance numbers and want more context before answering.

More than a call blocker

The app can also screen suspicious SMS messages and filter phishing attempts or promotional clutter. An optional call assistant can handle incoming calls when you are unavailable, giving you a clearer idea of who is calling and why. Getcontact also includes encrypted voice, video and text conversations, plus a separate number for situations such as work contacts or online marketplaces.

What to expect

Getcontact is built around quick access to call history, caller information and blocking controls. Some of its broader protections require substantial permissions, including use as the default SMS app. That makes it better suited to users who want an all-in-one communication filter than to anyone looking only for a simple caller ID tool.
