Truecaller has announced that it has crossed one million paying subscribers globally and has added a series of new features to its paid subscription service like Truecaller Premium.
Rolled out globally, the premium subscription service will now incorporate several advanced and more powerful spam-blocking features, which include automatically updating and blocking top spammers, among others. The spam-blocking features are currently available to Android users across all global markets of Truecaller.
Additionally, Truecaller’s recently-launched subscription service, Truecaller Premium Gold, will also offer the upgraded features under its plan. The gold-themed interface stands customers apart from the crowd, adding more value and branding to their profile.
The new spam-blocking features include automatically updating and blocking top spammers, availability of extended top spammers list (in cases where users want to block low volume spammers) and hidden numbers.
Others are blocking foreign numbers to prevent scams from other countries, blocking all numbers which are not in the user’s phone book, and blocking 140 series telemarketers (This feature is for India only).
For premium users, the following features are available: Ads-free Experience, Who Viewed My Profile (get notified when someone views your profile), Call Recording – record important conversations and hear them later (not available in Android 9 and above) and Premium Badge (look professional when you call someone).
Speaking on the development, the Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Truecaller, Alan Mamedi, said, “We are happy to see this growth and it makes us proud that users value the benefits with our premium features. We are also excited to announce these new upgrades that will help us add even more value to our growing premium users and help them make their communication safer and more efficient.”
The spam-blocking features can be availed by subscribing to Truecaller Premium, which is currently available globally, for all new subscribers, at an 80 per cent discount for the first three months.
