Call Spoofing: A Safer Way To Call

in Phone

Caller ID has been around for years, and Americans have begun to rely on it for means of knowing who is calling them , and from which particular phone number.  But when looking at the phone call from the other side, Caller ID is actually handing out personal information over to callers with each and every call we make.  As identity theft becomes an extreme problem of our present, who truly wants to have their personal information consistently sent to hundred or maybe thousands of callers per month?

Call spoofing, also know as Caller ID replacement is a solution to this present problem.  But what is call spoofing, and how does one make sure each and every one of their calls is protected from call recipient‘s Caller ID displays?

Caller ID spoofing is a means of making a phone call to anyone within the continental United States without revealing a phone number or your identity of the caller.  This service has grown more and more popular with each passing day.  So, to make a call spoof, one must first purchase either a limited or unlimited service plan from a call spoofing company.  An unlimited plan is often less expensive in the long-run, and allows you to have a fixed price for unlimited usage.  After your service is set up, you are ready to begin to make safer, more protected phone calls.

Each time an individual makes a phone call they are able to manipulate both the phone number and name shown to the recipient, to be whatever they wish.  Some callers choose to use the same name when spoofing friends - ie. Yogi Bear.  Others may choose to rename themselves with every call.  In calling larger corporations, you can keep your phone number safe from being added to a call-lists for ongoing service and product calls.  Truly, the benefits of Caller ID replacement are endless.


With static spoofing an individual can choose a phone number of their choice to be their designated call spoofing phone number.  This saves the spoof caller the time of not having to enter a phone number with each spoofed call.  Although, if you wish to get creative, manipulating the phone number per call is still always an option.

Unfortunately one cannot make spoofed text messages.  The Caller ID replacement service is often limited to just landline and cellular phone calls, as this is mainly means of those individuals obtaining another’s identity.  Overall, the service should be used to protect yourself and your family’s information, as opposed to continuously pranking unknown callers with absurd text messaging.  Over time this has become the overall goal of ethical call spoofing service companies.

If you are looking to make your landline or cellular phone calls safer and more protected, call spoofing is definitely the answer.  Contact a call spoof service company to check for pricing for limited and/or unlimited packages.  With only one quick call to one of these companies, you are protecting your family with each and every phone call you make in the future.
