True Caller ID

[TheBundo]

How can it look someone up using the data connection if you answer the call and are on the phone?

With TrueCaller, the caller id works as the call is ringing, before you pick up the call.

'bout time I see something that is available for WinMo devices and not the iPhone! HA HA
Is there any cost associate with either one of these programs?

No cost with either application.

The developer of TrueCaller said that there will be a nominal charge in the near future, for certain countries.

There is more info here >

I believe it looks it up really quickly before you answer the call, therefore the data + voice won't conflict if phone call is not initiated....at least in theory i'd suppose, because it doesn't work for me.
Running it on MR 6.5 right now (which I assume it doesnt like, WM 6.5 that is) and it seems like it's a simplified White Pages directory search app at this point, at least for me.

Because when a call comes in, the app doesn't pop up and identify the number, so basically after the call comes in, if I choose not to answer, I can then run the app, type in the phone number (manually for that matter), and then it supposedly connects to a whitepages type of database.

At least that's my experience with the app.

Not based on my experience at least, but i think that may have to do with it not liking WM 6.5 more than anything else.

I have a TouchPro running 6.5 and I'm wondering if I could just use the look up service for calls after the fact. Do you have to let this program run at startup? Did this program give you problems being installed on 6.5 if it wasn't running at startup? I don't really have a lot of use for it to look up a number when a call comes in. Look up afterwards could be handy though.

Yes, you can do that exactly.
In fact, that's what I use it for at the moment, because it doesn't work during the incoming call for me, only after the fact as you speculated.

It's pretty basic and intuitive in that regard, just run the app, punch in the number, it will do a lookup for you, and then provide you with contact information -- assuming the number is listed and its not a cell number.


Ive downloaded another app though, that also works after the fact, and gives more extensive info about the caller.
It's called NetCallerId

There's a thread about it over at XDA and one here too.
Unlike TrueCaller (once more based on my personal experience), NetCallerID will automatically provide you with caller info, also after the fact, but at least you wont have to punch in the numbers manually, as it will basically read the info from your call list.

Here's the XDA thread on NetworkCallerID by the way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494433

I tried it. It didn't look up the the number for me either. Really weird because the older version used to look it up (tho the results sucked). I understand this version is completely rewritten, so maybe it no longer works the same and it affects CDMA devices because of the whole no net + voice thing.

Good thing we're finally going to get simultaneous voice and data! Maybe then this app will work as advertised for CDMA peeps.

I received the following response from the TrueCaller Developer regarding the issues I was having >

"Hey Biker1,
That is too bad. I dont know of any other user with the same issue, but if there is an issue in TrueCaller, hopefully it will show in the few days to come! Thank you for your support anyway and I hope to see you back with us in the future "

Wow, great find. I'll be trying this out. Doing job interviews lately, sure would be nice to know who is calling me so I have an idea of who I'll be talking to.
