PrivacyStar,
available for BlackBerry and Android, is an app that gives you complete
control of your phone by providing the ability to stop unwanted
or unknown calls, and a Caller ID feature that is traditionally
found only on landlines. From your call log you can add any number
to your PrivacyList, which will stop that caller from calling you
again. Users have the ability to block a single number or entire
area codes. PrivacyStar also counts the number of blocked calls
so users can see the benefit of the service. The Do Not Disturb
feature has the ability to block groups of people, anonymous or
restricted callers.
PrivacyStar
has over 1 million unique blocked number - blocking 5 million total.
Its unique set of features allows people to live a more productive
lifestyle by eliminating unwanted calls and identifying the name
of a caller even if they are not in the address book. In a world
where people are abandoning landlines and living solely on smartphones,
PrivacyStar provides the ultimate control of mobile devices.
Over
200 million people have registered on the national Do Not Call
Registry, but many still receive calls from telemarketers. An
increasing issue revolves around debt collection practices with
debt collectors violating federal and state laws attempting to
collect debts from consumers. PrivacyStar provides the ability
to report Do Not Call Registry and Fair Debt Collection Practices
Act violations directly to the FTC - users have reported over
130,000 complaints.
The
SmartBlock feature is a database of the most blocked numbers by
PrivacyStar users. This unique function automatically blocks these
numbers from calling all its users.
For
Android, PrivacyStar offers text blocking to eliminate mass SMS
marketing campaigns or just senders that users never want to hear
from again.
PrivacyStar
also offers a Caller ID feature that until now has only been found
on landlines - number and name associated. This unique feature allows
users to screen their cell phone calls without having to wait for
the voice message.
