Hi all, through my experience, the third party apps that are supposed to do this a pure trash. I mean true caller was pretty decent, but it was packed with ads and trackers of course and the overbearing permissions that constantly tries hijacking my set SMS and dialer apps… I don’t think using a third party app is the right solution.

I came across an internet protocol called NCID which is network caller ID, which sounds quite interesting, but strangely there is little documentation and virtually no online community discussion about this.

So I’m wondering what are some good caller ID options available? I’m a private person and I like knowing who is calling also, would like to stop spam. I’m sure there’s a whole world dedicated to this such stuff, but I can’t seem to find the solution. And tips or advice or anything would be great. Thanks

    Ohhh OK so hypothetically if it passess stir shaken, then it should reveal the caller I’d name info too right?

      I think that would depend on the dialer you’re using. However, if it passes stir/shaken, if your dialer shows caller id, it would be accurate.

        Man I’m getting no luck. I’m using simple dialer for my default phone app and yet another call blocker as my default caller ID and spam blocker, but its not doing a damn thing. So wondering if I have to make yet another call blocker my default phone app instead, to get it to work.
