How to Unblock a Blocked Caller ID
How to Unblock a Blocked Caller ID
Have you ever received a call from a private number and wish that you could find out who was calling before you answered? It’s always frustrating when you are waiting for an important call and when the phone finally rings; it’s an automated message telling you your warranty on your car has expired. It would be so much easier if you could just unblock those unknown caller ID’s.
Well now you can with a service from trapcall.com. The setup is as simple as entering your cell phone number, selecting your service provider, and entering a string of numbers into your phone. Once it’s setup you can start unblocking blocked caller ID’s.
The way that it works is simple:
- Someone calls you from a blocked number.
- You cancel the call. (The call is then forwarded to trapcall to unblock the id)
- The call then shows up unblocked. Now you can see who is calling. (If you cancel the call again, the call goes to voicemail.)
So how much will this power to know cost you? Trapcall offers basic unblocking service for free. They also have paid services which allow you record incoming calls, transcribe your voicemail messages, and block unwanted callers.
Use this service wisely. It does what it claims to do. It would also be a good idea to check to see whether you phone service provider charges for call forwarding.

This works really well. My biggest problem is figuring out if I’d rather use this service or YouMail (both won’t work simultaneously) on my BlackBerry.
