I hate the phone. I hate phone calls. I hate when I don’t know who is calling me – especially b/c that usually means it is a REALLY important call or that it is a telemarketing call. I’ve been using Contactive for a while now and it is pretty amazing – and the price is nice too (FREE).
Contactive pops up when an incoming call is occurring and shows the name of the person or organization calling, the phone number, and associated social network profiles. It integrates with a number of social networks to ensure that it has the fullest amount of contact info. available about your contacts – so even if someone isn’t in your phone’s address book, if they are your friend on a social network, Contactive can use social network info. to identify them.
Contactive uses a crowdsourced model for building its database of caller IDs. When a call is completed it allows you to choose if the caller ID was correct and if it wasn’t to recommend the correct name. Personally, I love this. There is something so satisfying about typing in the name of an annoying telemarketing company after they call…knowing that now every user of Contactive will never again have to be bothered.
To learn more about Contactive you can visit their website or go to the Google Play page to download the app right now.
