Trapcall
Monday, March 2, 2009 at 3:32PM One thing I truly hate is getting calls from blocked numbers. Really people, if you have a reason to hide who you are when you call me, I don't want to talk to you. The new service Trapcall, currently in beta, is a wonderful idea. Provided by TelTech systems, the company behind SpoofCard, this service will unblock the ID of any blocked call you receive.
So...how does it work? The service makes use of a loophole in the ID blocking service. Calls to toll free numbers are not blocked. The user sets up their cell phone to forward any rejected or unanswered calls to the TelTech toll free number. The call loops through their system, returning the call to your cell phone with the unblocked ID. Rejecting the call a second time sends it to your normal voicemail, without the caller knowing anything. They hear nothing but normal ringing.
While ID unblocking is free, two other levels of service are available which offer features like voicemail transcription and call recording, as well as displaying the name and address of the caller if available.
