We’ve done a lot of work on our iPhone app since first our first release in December, and we’ve done our best to incorporate all the feedback we’ve gotten from user reviews. Now we’re one of the top 10 best-selling apps in our category (Productivity). Thank you!
We’ve just released a new version of Mr. Number for BlackBerry smartphones in App World. Now you can do reverse lookup of any US number. If you get a call on your home phone or work line that you don’t recognize, or you’re trying to make sense of your phone bill, just fire up Mr. Number. You can type a number by hand or highlight a number in the call log on your phone, press the menu button, and select Mr. Number.
We’ve also changed the prompt that appears after calls from mystery numbers to let you report spam calls. Your reports will show up on our our spam report site and help other members to avoid calls from telemarketers, robodialers, and other telephonic plagues.
We added these features to our Android and iPhone apps a few months ago, so big apologies to BlackBerry fans for the delay. You can find the new version at BlackBerry App World.
Telemarketers: you can hate them, or hate them. But there’s not a lot you can do about them, except complain.
Today we’re announcing that Mr. Number has figured out how to identify telemarketers and other spam callers automatically. (more…)
Since launching our caller ID service in October last year, it’s become our most popular feature. We renamed the whole company around it. And yesterday we crossed 250,000 registered users. Thank you for all the support.
Mr. Number is the world’s first crowd-sourced caller ID service.
Mr. Number began as a service of Skydeck, a company that’s been developing app for cell phones since 2008. At Skydeck we discovered that our users hated getting calls and texts from numbers that they didn’t recognize. Sometimes those calls were from old friends or important customers. But sometimes they were from telemarketers, bill collectors, or people they never wanted to speak to again. (more…)
