Should I Answer?
Brno, Czech Republic
What it is
Should I Answer? is a community-based service and mobile app for identifying unwanted calls, telemarketing, and expensive outgoing calls. Its database combines community reviews with phone-number ratings and is updated daily. The Android app can check a locally stored database without internet access and can optionally block unwanted calls automatically. The maker notes that blocking may fail on some phone models because of manufacturer system changes. On iOS, ratings appear in CallerID during calls or in Call History through the call blocking and identification extension. The service is available on Android, iOS, web, and as an extension. Android requires version 4.1 or newer; Android 6 and later require permissions for contacts, call information, and drawing over other apps. The Android plan is free. An iOS automatic database updates plan has no listed price, includes a one-month trial, and offers free phone-number information search.
