Telemarketers have become a smart lot. Earlier you could simply use services like PhoneSpamFilter to prevent those pesky calls. But, telemarketers are increasingly using sophisticated technology to mask their phone numbers. The call appears from "Unknown number" or "Restricted number", thus preventing the use of the earlier solutions. Not anymore, Trapcall is here....With Trapcall, you will always know who's calling. Trapcall is extremely easy to use. During the setup process, Trapcall provides the instructions on how to reprogram your phone to send all rejected, missed or unanswered calls to Trapcall. After the setup process, when you receive a call from an unknown or restricted number, just reject the call and the call will be forwarded to Trapcall. The call is then unmasked and sent back to your phone as a normal call with the phone number of the calling party. The caller hears a normal ring tone during the process.
Trapcall takes advantage of the loophole in the US telecommunication laws that allows toll-free numbers to receive caller ID information even when the caller ID information is blocked by the subscriber.
Before you jump at the service, please note some of the issues you may have:

Before you jump at the service, please note some of the issues you may have:
- Trapcall sends text messages everytime. So if you are charged for receiving text messages, remember to disable text messages in your account.
- Your carrier may charge you for forwarding calls, so confirm with the carrier.
TelTech Systems seems to have mastered the Caller-ID technology. First they offered Spoofcard to change the number that is displayed. Spoofcard is similar to Telespoof that allows you to make prank calls for free. Now the company is offering another Trapcall to recover the blocked numbers...
In my tests, Trapcall worked quite nicely digging out blocked numbers. The time takes was usually around 5 seconds, which is barely noticeable. If you have been troubled by those restricted numbers, you definitely want to try Trapcall.
Trapcall currently works with AT&T and T-Mobile only. The (basic) service is free and you can disable it easily by pressing ##004# and then the Call button on your phone. So do not hesitate to try it out!!!
