Sick of getting calls with blocked numbers on your cell? Here is your solution Trapcall. Trapcall will unblock and reveal the actual caller ID when a call has been blocked. No software or download needed! Trapcall is offered by New Jersey’s TelTech systems, the company behind the controversial SpoofCard Caller ID spoofing service.
TrapCall is basically a phone proxy. TrapCall instructs customers to reprogram their cellphones to send all rejected, missed and unanswered calls to TrapCall’s own toll-free number. If the user sees an incoming call with Caller ID blocked, he or she just presses the button on the phone that would normally send it to voicemail. The call invisibly loops through TelTech’s system, then back to the user’s phone, this time with the caller’s number displayed as the Caller ID.
TrapCall’s basic unmasking service is free, and includes the option of blacklisting unwanted callers by phone number. It also allows you to listen to your voicemail over the web. It’s currently available to AT&T and T-Mobile subscribers, with support for the other major carriers due within weeks, says TelTech president Meir Cohen.
Some of the features of TrapCall (some may be included with additional cost):
Number unmasking
Trapcall will unblock and reveal the actual caller ID when a call has been blocked. No software or download needed! (free)
Record your calls
A first in mobile phones, record all of your incoming calls!
Voicemail transcriptions
Read your voicemail messages via SMS while in a meeting, class, movie or other areas! Please note that the transcription is done by individuals, not machines, so by signing up for this service you are giving permission for the transcribers to listen to your voicemails.

Great system and it is Free! Take a look.
Brad,
I hope this comes to Sprint! I am not a fan of private calls.
Hmm, maybe I would be less scared to answer my phone with this. Once, I picked up a blocked number, and it was some guy explaining why he missed his parole officer meeting. :/

It’s a choice, but I never pick up private calls.
I like this new technology!
I think it’s great. I know I never answer private calls and now I can see who is calling me.

Sprint and Verizon that I use works.
hey im trying to add this and im having troubles with step 3. everytime i got to enter in the number i keep getting and error msg saying “Number must be located in the contiguous United States.” and ive tried over and over to enter in this number. please anyone have an idea or solution to my problem? thanks in advance
Is your number in the US?
yes. its asking for the number that they sent me once i dial *#67#
i cant seem to figure it out. today i tried to redo everything from the start and im getting the same error msg. im a michigan local and im following directions but i still get the same error. when entering the number i see which is +13174379962 so i enter the “+”? ive tried with and without it and i cant seem to get it right. ive heard a lot of great things and most of my friends use this on their iphones so im just trying to apply it to mine. i wish there was an app avalible.

Do you have one for house phone? I am paying phone company to stop blocked calls and they are coming in anyway.
IS THIS WORKING FOR METRO PCS ??????????/
Nicole,
It works 90% of the time. you will have to try it to see if it works for you.
Is there a status update on the sprint? I would pay if it worked for sprint.
Alex,
I haven’t heard of such update, but it I do I will blog about any changes.
Do u have one for house phones?I have been getting blocked called numbers every single Friday for the pass months.I really need to find out who has been calling me these days fast. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ASAP!
I REALLY REALLY hope this becomes available for Cricket. I’ve had my number so long and they won’t transfer numbers supposedly from cricket.. I get private calls and It’d be very helpful to know who they are.
Alley,
We hope they expand on this service. We will keep you posted.
Do you know how long before Cricket becomes part of this great technology. I cant wait, I get so many restricted calls its so annoying.
Cin,
I am not sure, but once we get word will share it.
Im trying this to see if it works. Wish me luck.
Brittany,
Let me know how it works out for you.
I’ve been getting harrassing prank phone calls for the past few weeks from the same people. I’ve contacted the authorites and they said they’d have to get a warrent to put a tap on my phone which they wouldn’t do for harrassing phone calls. I’ve called my cellphone carrier (Sprint) and they said that I can’t block private callers, I can’t trace the number, and the only thing I can do is change my number. I don’t know what else to do! Is there anyway I can get these numbers just so I can call them back and be like, “look, I can get your number so dont prank me anymore!”
Does this work for sprint? if it doesnt why do they have it posted on options??
hopefully it works soon.
Ilda,
It works for Sprint as that is my carrier.
