Hi all, through my experience, the third party apps that are supposed to do this a pure trash. I mean true caller was pretty decent, but it was packed with ads and trackers of course and the overbearing permissions that constantly tries hijacking my set SMS and dialer apps.... I don't think using a third party app is the right solution.

I came across an internet protocol called NCID which is network callet ID, which sounds quite interesting, but strangely there is little documentation and virtually no online community discussion about this.

So I'm wondering what are some good caller ID options available? I'm a private person and I like knowing who is calling also, would like to stop spam. I'm sure there's a whole world dedicated to this such stuff, but I can't seem to find the solution. And tips or advice or anything would be great. Thanks

I never pick up an unknown number. If it's important, they will eventually message or email me. Don't hang up on those calls either. If you do, they'll know you're there and will add you to their database. Just leave it ringing on silent. Some phones can also auto reroute unknown callers to the voicemail.

Yes!I have heard this before. I tried telling my parents, who are plagued by spam calls, to not engage with them but of course they like to answer and yelll at them or answer and hang up lol
