I believe this article seems highly relevant due to the number of users that uses Truecaller. In addition, they have apparently won some rewards and yesterday Techcrunch made an article on the company - http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/18/open-ocean-invests-1-3m-to-push-crowdsourced-directory-truecallers-global-reach/.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.78.234.19 (talk) 08:03 19 September 2012 (UTC)

I agree. The service is obviously supported by venture capital as well as tech entrepreneurs such as Michael Widenius, co-founder of MySQL, sold to Sun Microsystems for USD 1 billion in 2008. In addition, recent articles from e.g. Techcrunch should indicate some status within tech. Apparently the service has more than 5 million users performing more than 120 million searches each month. This must be seen as a rather significant number of users and apparently they are using the app frequently.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.227.166.125 (talk) 20:28 20 September 2012 (UTC)

I find the Wiki article informative and highly relevant given its huge number of users. Taking into account all the high profile awards the application has received it is as relevant as other applications such as Angry Birds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angry_Birds) also found on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mstojan (talk • contribs) 13:01, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This App maintains a database of users (who might have never heard of TrueCaller App, but their friends have installed TrueCaller) with their real names. Now given any mobile number, there are ways to find it's location and TrueCaller will tell you the real name. Why would a fake caller will not use this App to hunt down it's prey with this route and make people fool. He can be a fake courier guy and can ask for correct address. He can be a fake friend and by the time you realize it to be a wrong number, he has already gathered your personal information from you only. He can be a women-troubler who is searching a girl to disturb or harass. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashok1979 (talk • contribs) 17:53, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The above comment does not have factual points. If you go to Truecaller's support page, you will understand that the Truecaller app does not give any caller's location, nor does it send any phonebook information without the user's permission. ^[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucy055 (talk • contribs) 15:59, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The data and privacy issue is more complex, see e.g. this story How TrueCaller is endangering journalists — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.193.201.99 (talk) 13:25, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

With statements like "Truecaller never uploads your phonebook to make it searchable or public.", with no explanations whatsoever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.181.33.181 (talk) 17:07, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's the exact opposite of the truth. I'm going to rectify it, with sources. LjL (talk) 17:07, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. By sheer luck I stumbled upon a false information that had been added to the article in this revision: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Truecaller&diff=next&oldid=700791096 I've reverted it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Truecaller&type=revision&diff=959613557&oldid=956237427 based on Truecaller's blog back in 2009 as it was saved by archive.org WayBack Time Machine. Of course, there was no mention of BlackBerry whatsoever for the initial launch, they mentioned only "TrueCaller will be available at www.truecaller.com July 1 for Windows Mobile Pro and Symbian s60v3.". I think what puzzled me was that BlackBerry launch was again mentioned 3 years later, in 2012. Unfortunately this error stayed uncaught for the last 4 years, and as far as I could see it has been propagated into all the article's translations (I even noticed it on an article on the Internet which most likely got its information from Wikipedia). I could fix it in French, as I speak it, but given the alphabet of the other languages, I couldn't even attempt fixing it using Google Translate. So if you speak any of the linked languages, please go ahead and fix at least this (what I also noticed is that some translations in some languages are from that 2017 version and haven't been touched since, contrary to this article (I also updated the French article accordingly). Thanks! --Vlad|-> 17:11, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is incorrect, but the page is locked so I cannot edit.
