Reviews

Prior to having TrueCall installed, we were inundated with nuisance calls. Sometimes the calls would start early in the morning and late into the evening. The calls ranged from surveys, computer problems to most worrying calls purportedly from our bank. It reached the stage that we were reluctant to answer the phone. Through Alzheimer Scotland we heard about TrueCall and instantly we felt the benefits! It’s easy to install and trusted caller numbers can be set up using the handset. The relief & peace of mind this gadget has given us is immeasurable. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Knowing that calls are screened means we can answer the phone with confidence and not trepidation!
