iOS doesn't give developers access to the callerID of incoming calls. you'd need to do a cut/paste (at best) and probably have to type in the number by hand.

iOS doesn't give developers access to the callerID of incoming calls. you'd need to do a cut/paste (at best) and probably have to type in the number by hand. it would be made more complex by the fact that at least some carriers like Verizon don't give you web and phone access over the network at the same time.
on android, apps can see the number. There have been various apps that offer a lookup service and spam filter, most notably Mr. Number, which recently discontinued the service amid some controversy and also was acquired. you could also check out Whoscall, which claims to do something similar but has a weak implementation on iOS.
Or you could of course use Burner....
- palidanx 13y agoInteresting.. would it be possible to somehow put a 'listener' on Google Voice where when a call was received on that number, a quick look-up could happen then a separate mobile notification could be delivered on a separate app? That assumes that Google Voice even has an API listener for incoming calls (which I'm assuming it does not).
- gregcohn 13y agowell they obviously have a server-side listener with a lookup/execute routine, as they have whitelist, blacklist, and other conditional features, but i don't believe it's available as an API.
