Pros & Cons:
Pros:
- Get caller’s ID on some calls, even some unknown or telemarketers
Cons:
- Doesn’t always find caller’s ID even when landline is used
- Constant background processing, attributes to performance and battery drain
Features:
Caller ID by WhitePages Android App helps identify your incoming caller’s identification for mobile phones. If a telemarketer is identified in WhitePages.com’s database; it will be flagged. You can also save identified callers in your Contacts easy and get their general location on Google Maps with optional directions. Additionally you can search People, Businesses and perform a Reverse Lookup, plus see Android window shade notifications.
Gripe Alert: You would expect to identify more callers with this app, but then again WhitePages can only ID those numbers listed. A vast majority of cellular phones numbers are not listed. It takes an average of 2-4 rings for calls to identified on 3G or Wifi, even longer if you’re lower than 3G. Lastly, background processing from the app attributes to performance and battery drain.
