Description

PrivacyStar is full-featured call protection for your smartphone, from industry leader First Orion.

With PrivacyStar, you can reclaim control of your phone, with features like:

🔥 Scam Likely Protection
🔥 Enhanced Caller ID**
🔥 Reverse Number Search
🔥 Block by Call Category
🔥 Prevent callers from leaving voicemails**
🔥 Blocked call notifications**
🔥 Report fraudulent calls to FTC

Did you want some rave reviews? Well, CBS, TIME, and Forbes are among the many who loved it:

“PrivacyStar uses larger databases of untrustworthy numbers to preemptively block calls from the outside.” – The Verge

"PrivacyStar won’t just tell you who it is, but also identify the caller indicating how likely they are to be an annoying telemarketer." – TechCrunch

But let’s get to the features:

🆓 Scam Likely Protection - We update our database EVERY. SIX. MINUTES. By the time you’ve watched a few TikToks, we’ve refreshed all of our data with the most accurate information to ensure you’re protected against scammers, spammers, and fraudulent callers.

✅ Enhanced Caller ID** - Never wonder who’s calling again! We’ll identify incoming calls with a Name, Category, even an Enhanced Image and Logo when available.

🆓 Reverse Number Lookup - Lookup any number. Go ahead, try it. PrivacyStar will display the owner of the number and an associated call category, if available.

🚫 Block By Category - Block telemarketers, account services, shady politicians - even your ex.

🛑 Prevent Callers from Leaving Voicemails** - Block calls and prevent new voicemails, or block calls and send them straight to voicemail. Your phone, your choice.

🔔 Notifications** - We’ll shoot you a notification when calls are blocked, sent to voicemail, even when you have new voicemails.

📉 Report Callers - File a report against abusive callers directly from the app! We’ll send those reports to the FTC, and they’ll put them on a bad guys list.

🚫 Custom Call Blocking - Add any number to your blocklist. Seriously, any of them.

🆓 Category ID - Displays the Call Category of the incoming call, if available.

🛡️ Protect Privacy - Your contact list? Not our business. We only use your contacts to help your incoming call experience - your contacts stay where they belong, on your phone.

** = Features only available to Verizon, AT&T, and Cricket customers at this time

*Enhanced Caller ID requires a network connection.
