Caller ID & number lookup

Put a name to every unknown number.

MobContact tells you who is on the other end before you pick up, keeps the time-wasters from ringing at all, and lets you look up any number you were left wondering about — from the app or from a browser tab.

How it works

Three steps, and then you stop guessing.

There is nothing to tune after the first run. Screening happens in the second between the network handing over the call and your phone making a sound — you never see the work, only the result.

  1. Put it on the phone

    Install the Android app where the calls actually land. If you only need to check a number someone left you, the browser version does that from any machine, with nothing installed.

  2. Let it see the number

    Grant call access once. From then on every incoming number is checked against the directory and against what other people have reported — before the first ring, not after you have answered.

  3. Answer the ones worth answering

    Real callers arrive carrying a name. Reported numbers are held back quietly, and everything held is listed — so a screened call is delayed, never disappeared.

What it does

A directory, a screen, and a search box.

Six things, all aimed at one problem: knowing something about a number before it costs you your attention.

Caller identification

A number that means nothing to you means something to somebody. You get the name as the call comes in — not afterwards, from a search you did because you were already annoyed.

Spam screening

Numbers enough people have reported never get to ring. Everything held back stays on a list you can read, because software that silently eats calls is its own kind of problem.

Number lookup

A number off a missed call, a message, or a classified ad. Paste it in and see what the directory already has, before you call it back.

Community tags

Short labels real people attached to a number — courier, clinic, recruiter, scam. They survive even when the number was never in anybody’s address book under a proper name.

Your own block list

Some numbers are a problem only for you. Block one and it stays blocked, with no report filed and no explanation owed to anyone.

Phone and browser

The app for calls as they happen. The web version for the times you are at a desk holding a sticky note with a number on it.

Questions

Before you install anything.

Which devices does MobContact run on?

There is an Android app, distributed as an APK from this site, and a browser version that works anywhere with a modern browser. Live call screening needs the app, because only the phone sees the call.

Where do the names and tags come from?

Three places: your own contacts, labels other people have attached to a number, and reports from anyone that number has bothered. A number nobody has ever seen comes back unknown — we would rather say so than guess.

What language is the app in?

Eight: English, Azerbaijani, Turkish, Russian, Spanish, German, French and Arabic — Arabic right-to-left throughout. Pick one from the switcher in the header and every page, including the legal ones, follows you.

How does billing work?

Pick a term — weekly, monthly or yearly — and a tier, VIP or Premium. Payments are processed by Stripe, so your card details go to them and not to us.

What happens to the numbers I look up?

What we collect, why we collect it and what you can ask us to delete are all set out in the Privacy Policy, alongside the Terms of Service. Both are worth the five minutes.
