더콜 공식 - 스팸 차단

The Call believes that through our efforts, we can move the world in the right direction. To this end, we have been sharing spam phone numbers for advertisements, voice phishing, etc. since 2009. Please make sure that no further damage occurs by searching or registering the phone number you received.

1. Notify/silence/block spam phone numbers

When you receive a call or text message from a spam phone number such as an advertisement or voice phishing, notification/silence/blocking is activated through real-time tracking. (However, text messages are only available for notifications.)

2. Notify/silence/block alert phone number

Even if the phone number has not been reported as spam, a 'caution' message may be displayed depending on the activity and presence of similar numbers, and the number may be silenced/blocked depending on the level of caution.

3. Important/Location Phone Number Reminder

It provides important phone numbers for customer centers, restaurants, etc., so you don't miss them. (If you are not registered, you can register directly.)

4. Offline DB provided for free (dual SIM support)

You can block spam phone numbers more effectively (even with dual SIM) through an offline database that is automatically updated every day. (Update is also possible only under Wi-Fi.)

5. Lightweight with only essential features

It provides only the essential function of blocking spam, so it is not heavy and can be used lightly. We did not add features that users did not need.

We will continue to actively accept feedback from users to quickly add necessary features and immediately catch errors to further develop The Call.

Information regarding previous text notifications

After the Android 13 (Galaxy OneUI 5.0) update, when receiving a text message, there is a phenomenon in which the previous text message, not the most recent text message, acts as a real-time inquiry window. It was fixed in version 1.14.25, please update to the latest version.

Notice regarding app not working

Starting with Android P(9), if the app's 'running in the background' is restricted, app functions such as real-time viewing window and call blocking may not work properly. Please enable [Application] - [The Call] app - [Battery] - [Run in background] in device settings, or enable [Exclude battery optimization] in app settings.

Notice regarding blocking not working

If the 'Android security patch level' of Android O (8.0) is after April 2018, access to the 'Hang up call function' may be blocked and the 'Call blocking function' may not work properly. Phone numbers that are ‘blocked’ are also not blocked, so if you have Android M (6.0) or higher, please use ‘silent mode’.

Additional information - Starting with version 1.10.0, spam call blocking due to a security patch is automatically replaced by silence. You can check whether the blocking function is used when setting up blocking and spam call blocking.

Additional information - Android P(9) from version 1.13.8 and Android 10(Q) from version 1.13.9 support call blocking through new permissions and methods.

Notice regarding delay in operation of real-time view window

When clearing the entire memory (RAM) using a 'Memory (RAM) Cleanup' app (such as the 'Memory Guardian' app of the Samsung Galaxy series), the operation of the 'Real-time View Window' may be delayed when the app is restarted. Please add the Call app to the ‘Excluded Apps’ in the ‘Memory (RAM) Cleanup App’ you are using.

Additional information - If you turn on 'Auto Optimization' of 'Good Guardians' - 'Battery Guardian' of the Samsung Galaxy series, The Call app will be automatically added as a 'Power Saving App' and the 'Real-time View Window' may not work properly. Please add the Call app to 'Apps not optimized' in 'Battery Guardian' or enable [Exclude battery optimization] in the app settings.

Information regarding notification delay at the top

If the top notification appears after a while when using Android 11 on the Samsung Galaxy series, add The Call app to [Battery and Device Care] - [Battery] - [Background Use Restrictions] - [Power Saving Exception Apps] in the device settings, or Please enable [Exclude battery optimization] in the app settings. (Based on stock Android, disable [Battery] - [Battery Management] - [Automatically manage apps] in device settings.)

Information on access rights to The Call

The Call requires only minimal access rights. (For Android M (6.0) or higher) Access permission is required only to use the function, and the service can be used even if you do not grant optional permission.

[Optional permissions]

Phone/SMS: Check caller information

Contacts/Call log: Display number/caller details

Notifications: Show caller ID

Since the consent method for the Android operating system has changed significantly starting from version M (6.0), please use the software update function in your smartphone to check whether your smartphone's operating system can be upgraded to Android M (6.0) or higher and then upgrade. Additionally, even if the operating system is upgraded, the access permissions agreed to in existing apps do not change, so to reset access permissions, you must delete and reinstall the already installed app.
