Telemarketer-Thwarting Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This App Helps You Block Calls From Annoying Telemarketers

— September 8, 2016 — Tech
Callblock is a new iOS app that is designed to make it easier than ever for you to block calls from over 2 million telemarketers including but not limited to robo-callers, debt collectors and political activists. This innovative app uses a comprehensive database of public records, private records and user reporting to ascertain which calls need to be blocked, and is constantly updated to offer the best possible service.

The app also allows users to configure call-blocking activity, and users are even giving the option of using caller ID to be able to manually filter out incoming calls rather than have them blocked by default. If a telemarketer call does get through, users can report the number so that the call gets blocked the next time around.

Considering that telemarketer calls are a huge scourge for many, this app definitely makes for an extremely useful addition to your device.


Trend Themes
1. Telemarketer-blocking Apps - The rise of telemarketer-thwarting apps to offer a more efficient and personalized solution for blocking unnecessary calls.
2. Comprehensive Database Solution - The development of a comprehensive database solution leveraging public records, private records, and user reporting, to address inefficient communication activities.
3. Manual Call Filtering - The demand for manual filtering of incoming calls to provide users with an opportunity to have greater control over their call experience.
Industry Implications
1. Telecommunications - Telecommunications companies could benefit from offering more efficient and personalized solutions to manage telemarketer calls and improve customer satisfaction.
2. Marketing - The use of more targeted and less intrusive marketing communication channels could be adopted by marketing companies to improve perception among consumers.
3. Technology - Technology companies can leverage the demand for personalized call management solutions by building mobile apps that help users filter unwanted calls more effectively.
