The Call believes that we can make the world go in the right direction with our efforts. To this end, since 2009, we have been sharing spam phone numbers such as advertisements and voice phishing. Please make sure that no further damage occurs due to the search and registration of the phone number you received.
Participate in beta testing (You can see new features first.)

1. Spam phone number notification/silence/block
When receiving calls or text messages from spam phone numbers such as advertisements and voice phishing, notification/silence/blocking works through real-time inquiry. (However, text messages can only be notified.)
2. Attention phone number notification/silence/block
Even if there is no spam report,'Caution' is displayed depending on the activity and the existence of similar numbers, and silence/blocking can be performed according to the level of caution.
3. Important/location phone number notification
You may not miss the phone number of important/places such as customer centers and restaurants. (If you are not registered, you can register yourself.)
4. Offline DB free (dual sim support)
You can block spam phone numbers more effectively (even in Dual Sim) through an offline DB that is automatically updated every day. (Update is also possible only in Wi-Fi status.)
5. Light with only essential features
It provides only the essential function of blocking spam, so it is not heavy and can be used lightly. We didn't add features that the user didn't even need.
In the future, we will continue to actively receive feedback from users, add necessary functions quickly, and become a more advanced The Call that catches errors immediately.
Information on non-operation of the app
From Android P(9), if the app's'run in the background' is restricted, the app's functions such as real-time inquiry window and phone blocking may not work properly. Activate [Application]-[The Call] app-[Battery]-[Run in the background] in the device settings, or activate [Excluding battery optimization] in the app settings.
Notice on non-blocking
If the'Android Security Patch Level' of Android O (8.0) is after April 2018, the access right of the'Hang Up Function' is blocked, so the'Call Blocking Function' may not work normally. Phone numbers with'blocking settings' are also not blocked, so if you have Android M (6.0) or higher, use'silent mode'.
Additional Notice-As of version 1.10.0, spam call blocking due to security patch is automatically replaced by silence. You can check whether or not the blocking function is used when blocking and blocking spam calls.
Additional Information-Android P(9) from version 1.13.8 and Android 10(Q) from version 1.13.9 support the call blocking function through new permissions and methods.
Notice on delay in real-time inquiry window operation
When the entire memory (RAM) is cleaned through the'Memory (RAM) Cleanup' app (Samsung Galaxy series''Device Care' app, etc.), the operation of the'Real-Time Query Window' may be delayed due to the restart of the app. Add The Call app to'Excluded Apps' in the'Memory (RAM) Cleanup App' you are using.
Additional Information-If you turn on'Auto Optimization' of'Galaxy Labs'-'Battery Guardian' of the Samsung Galaxy series, the'Real Time View' may not work properly because the Call app is automatically added as a'Sleep App'. Add The Call app to'Apps not optimized' in'Battery Guardian', or enable [Excluding battery optimization] in the app settings.
Notice on delay of notification above
If the top notification appears after a period of time has elapsed when using Android 11 of the Samsung Galaxy series, add The Call app to [Battery and Device Care]-[Battery]-[Background usage restrictions]-[Power saving exception app] in device settings, or Please enable [Excluding battery optimization] in the app settings. (Please deactivate [Battery]-[Battery Management]-[Automatically manage apps] in the device settings based on original Android.)
The Call Access Permission Guide
The Call only requires minimal access. (For Android M(6.0) or higher) Access rights are required only to use the function, and you can use the app even if you do not allow it.
Call: Caller identification/blocking, history display
SMS: Caller identification, history display
Address Book: Caller identification/acceptance, history display
Since the Android operating system has changed greatly from the M (6.0) version, please use the software update function in the smartphone to check if the operating system of your smartphone can be upgraded to Android M (6.0) or higher, and then upgrade. Also, even if the operating system is upgraded, the access rights agreed to by the existing apps do not change, so in order to re-establish access rights, you need to delete and reinstall the app you have already installed.
