Looks Phonepe is going to disrupt Truecaller

If you are looking for better spam call blocker app similar to truecaller then what are the few things which as a user you guys will expect as a user ? Truecaller now only about ads now a days, finally decided to build android app. Regarding data and other stuff will figure out something.

Post inspired from another post. What is your method to deal with spam calls? What I have tried and it worked well for me: Get Android phone. Get Truecaller. Block all calls not in the phone book. Do this for a month. All callers will find your number unresponsive and remove you from calling lists. If you are expecting unknown calls like Swiggy/Zomato/Amazon, unblock momentarily till the delivery. Your number has been public. Your telecom sells it, bank sells it, Universities sell it, discoms sells it. Your number is sold as soon as you buy a new SIM from a telecom. If there's a buyer, even you wud sell your number for a good price. Weird world. Even TRAI is useless and doesn't execute fines plus the onus is on you to complain and report via a stupid needless form for every spam. In India, Truecaller is a 99% good solution.I know some friends in sales & call centers who mentioned they don't wanna waste effort & time with non-converting leads. So they update their calling lists & non-responsive numbers are filtered out. So every 6mo, I block all unknown numbers and monitor my spams. Worked well.

Has anybody also observed that the number of spam calls for credit card, pre approved loans increased exponentially? I wanted to figure out the root cause of this. I remember one of my friends asking me to download ONE Score app to check my credit score, around 5-6 months ago and since then, on an average there are 4-5 calls daily. Not saying this definitely was the root cause but just a speculation. Just wanted to know what others feel regarding this and any steps they took to mitigate this.

How to activate do not disturb effectively on Jio network? Received a 10 calls since morning offering mutual funds, trading account, loan and overdraft!

What will happen to these startups who allow gold investments now? 😂

https://www.phonepe.com/press/phonepe-announces-launch-of-credit-section-on-the-app/ This could be definitively be a death nail for Cred credit card payments. PhonePe would definitively scoop up a large number of users who use Cred only for credit card payments. Thoughts?

Any insider news on what it could be? Also how are Pincode and Share.market doing?
