You’ll have to deactivate your own account to get your number removed. Note that you can’t remove your number from the service if you are using the app. This is because if someone knows your landline number, they can easily find the registered address via any publicly available phonebook (many telcos have this information public) or even by simply searching for your landline number on Google.įor this reason, you should consider removing your number from Truecaller’s database. Of course Truecaller sources this data from public data sources. This doesn’t mean much when telemarketers or spammers call from an office address, but ideally you wouldn’t want strangers to know your home address just because you called them from your landline. Not everyone knows this, but for some fixed-line phones, Truecaller even lists the address of the landline. So even if you’ve never used the service, your name and number could be on Truecaller’s database, thanks to someone else who’s saved your contact details and allowed the app to access them. It crowdsources contact details from all its users’ address books. Truecaller is a popular app that shows you contact details of unknown numbers calling you.
