I have seen some companies that call have pre-loaded Caller ID. Why don’t Apple or Google provide a service that guarantees that the Contact tracing service always calls with a Caller ID, and Apple/Google could even mark it as verified. I think many businesses would pay for this service as it saves money on having to contact existing customers and reduces fraud.

- nytesky 6y agoThen why aren’t pollsters and contact tracers doing this so none of miss those calls?
- throwaway3699 6y agoI don't want pollsters calling me. Nor contact tracers. They can send an email if it's essential.
- usrusr 6y agoOne thing that comes to mind, if a call comes in accompanied by screen message of a kind that I have never seen before I'd be twice as alarmed as with just some random unknown number calling. I might end up googling recently updated apps for news of a malware takeover instead of answering the call. But it would be a good idea nonetheless, it only requires to be accompanied by a serious information campaign preparing first time receivers for the surprise.
- therealx 6y agoSemi related, but some services (trapcall, for one) offer a very cheap service that punches through called ID spoofing via AMI, and offer blocking on public and private lists, really help.
