In their own words
RealCall
RealCall is a mobile app for caller ID and spam-call blocking on Android and iOS. It uses a database and AI-based modeling to identify spam and scam calls, and says it can block them before the phone rings. The app also offers reverse phone lookup, with listings of active robocallers and recordings. For texts, RealCall says GPT-4 detects and blocks fraudulent SMS messages. Its AI can also answer unwanted calls to occupy scammers, while user activity helps its system learn spammers’ calling patterns. Blocking settings are customizable, but AI Blocking requires a subscription. RealCall offers a free plan and advertises a free trial; its Subscription is billed Free for 7 days, then $4.49/Month after the free trial. The privacy policy says the app may collect call and text logs, contacts, voicemail recordings, and de-identified texts from callers outside a user’s contacts. Family Plan sharing is temporarily available on iOS only.
