Whois & Analysis for whoscall.com

Caller ID (caller identification, CID), also called calling line identification (CLID), (CND), calling number identification (CNID) or calling line identification presentation (CLIP), is a telephone service, available in analog and digital phone systems and most voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications, that transmits a caller's number to the called party's telephone equipment during the ringing signal, or when the call is being set up but before the call is answered.

Caller ID may be used by the recipient to avoid answering unwanted incoming calls by the concept of informed consent.

However, it also poses problems for personal privacy.

Usually, the caller can disable or "block" the Caller ID facility, but some call capture technology can bypass a caller block.

On the other hand, the possibility of caller ID spoofing may render received information unreliable.

Whoscall is a caller ID and number management mobile application developed by Gogolook, a division of the mega Korean IT company NHN.

The app identifies incoming call as the call comes in allowing users to identify important business calls and filter out unwanted callers.

It also includes number management features, number and keyword blocks, an offline database, and is available across the Android, Windows Phone and iOS platforms..

It is completely free with no additional in-app or upgrade purchases.

Electronic spamming is the use of electronic messaging systems to send an unsolicited message (spam), especially advertising, as well as sending messages repeatedly on the same site.

While the most widely recognized form of spam is email spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, social spam, spam mobile apps, television advertising and file sharing spam.

It is named after Spam, a luncheon meat, by way of a Monty Python sketch about a menu that includes Spam in every dish.

The food is stereotypically disliked/unwanted, so the word came to be transferred by analogy.

A mobile application software or mobile app is an application software designed to run on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.

Most such devices are sold with several apps bundled as pre-installed software, such as a web browser, email client, calendar, mapping program, and an app for buying music or other media or more apps.

Some pre-installed apps can be removed by an ordinary uninstall process, thus leaving more storage space for desired ones.

Where the software does not allow this, some devices can be rooted to eliminate the undesired apps.
