While a mobile phone is an essential lifeline, it can also bring problems for older people: Mum or Dad may be confused by telemarketing calls, agree to order products they don’t need, or may be taken advantage of by unscrupulous sales people and scammers. trueCall SIM Secure stops these callers in their tracks.
When a call arrives trueCall checks the caller’s number. If it is a trusted caller then the phone rings as normal, but trueCall intercepts all other callers and says:
“Hello, if you’re a friend, family member or invited caller please press ‘1’, if you are a cold caller please hang up and don’t call again”
This blocks around 95% of unwanted calls - most telemarketers hang up when they hear this message, and automated and silent calls won’t get through.
If you want even more protection, trueCall Secure has other options that completely block unrecognised callers. It can either ask them to either call you, or actually divert their call to your mobile phone where you can talk to the caller, and if they are legitimate forward their call to Mum or Dad. You can stay conferenced in to the call to check that everything is OK then drop out to leave them to it. This gives 100% protection as only trusted callers are able to get through.
Mum or dad will use their mobile phone as normal – there are no new procedures to learn or buttons to press - and will soon forget that trueCall SIM Secure is protecting them.
trueCall SIM Secure can be remotely managed over the Internet so you can keep the trusted caller list up to date and monitor their call log.
trueCall SIM Secure gives both you and your loved one peace of mind.
