Truemessenger makes SMS safer by adding social context to your conversations. The app is integrated with Truecaller and its network of more than 1.7 billion numbers from across the globe.

SMS spam is then either filtered out of your inbox or blocked altogether, so your inbox is kept clean, and you’re never left guessing who might be trying to reach you.

Truecaller Takes Aim at Mobile Spam
Globally, spam a​ccounts for 15% of all SMS messages sent, which represents 1.2 trillion spam messages each year.​In the U.S. market, despite the growth of other categories, S​MS is still the most-used app today​making it a prime target for telemarketers and fraudsters. These come in the form of free gift card offers, marketing promotions and phishing scams, and often lead to more serious misuses of personal information and identity theft. Truemessenger attacks this problem head-on. Now, you can take advantage of an organized inbox where you can alwaysput a name to a number, and seamlessly block and filter spam SMS messages, which eliminates the possibilities of you becoming a victim.
