Recorded calls for back-up

All your calls are automatically recorded so you or your Trusted Person can check them at any time. This will give you peace of mind. You can listen to see if you've been scammed & use it as proof.

CallGuard: Your scam shield

The anti-fraud introduction is the ultimate barrier in stopping a potential scam call from reaching you. Any conversation with someone with criminal intentions puts you at risk of becoming a victim, and the anti-fraud intro is designed to prevent your phone from even ringing, meaning you never have those conversations.

Should a scammer ignore CallGuard's warning, you can trust that the keyword alerts and call recording will be both your savour and hard evidence.

Please note that contacts in your Phonely Contact Book marked as "Friend" or "Family" will not hear the anti-fraud introduction. This ensures that your conversations with your loved ones start promptly and naturally.
