The Phonely Features That Fight Telephone Crime From Every Angle

Using VoIP and digital voice technology, Phonely has created a whole host of features to help you avoid telephone scams. So here we present you with everything CallGuard.

Apps

For ease and convenience we have created two free apps.

One is a Call App so you can take your home number anywhere and never wait in for a call again.

The second is a Trusted Person App from which account settings can be managed and alerts and notifications can be received.

Built-in anti-fraud introductions

Before a caller is connected to you they will hear a short message to let them know their call is recorded for your protection.

This will deter criminals from continuing with their calls and give you the confidence to answer your phone whenever it rings.

Call blocking

Manually block the numbers you know you don't want to hear from. Plus have any number on Phonely's global block list blocked automatically.

Phonely's global block list is a vast database of suspicious numbers collected by us and our customers and is updated daily. This will allow you to be safe in the knowledge that you're already protected from known criminals.

Call recording & transcription

Every telephone conversation is recorded and then transcribed for easy inspection. So if you felt uncomfortable on a call or were alerted to keyword usage, you or your Trusted Person can easily check back to see what happened.

Feel in control of every conversation with the knowledge you have proof should you need it.

Keyword notifications & other alerts

Using smart technology, our systems can detect the common keywords that phone criminals use. It can also alert your Trusted Person to calls you take that are from withheld or international numbers.

Trusted person(s)

Nominating a trusted person will secure human backup should you need it, giving you an extra layer of protection. You can have more than one and you can choose anyone from your friends or family.

Whoever you choose will be able to support you from anywhere using the Phonely Trusted Person app. From here they will be able to do many things such as join in live (dial #9) calls to assist you, listen back to your call recordings to check for scam attempts and with CallGuard+ they will be notified of any criminal language used within your calls.

What a Trusted Person Can Do

Live call joining

If you're in the middle of an uncomfortable call, you can invite your Trusted Person to join for support. Plus your Trusted Person can also enter into any call from a withheld or international number to check you're OK.

You can be assured that at any point you feel you need help on a call, for any reason, you can have it with a press of #9.

Offline alerts

VoIP and digital voice phones need a power source to run. Should yours fail, your Trusted Person will be alerted so they can contact you by other means to ensure you're well.

With this facility you can take comfort in the fact that in a power cut, you won't be left feeling isolated or alone.
