Websites like TrueCaller easily allow people to lookup the name of the person to whom a phone number belongs to. It behaves mainly like a global directory. Truecaller itself has some useful apps too on Android and iPhone. The android app actually displays the name of person if the phone number that you are receiving a call from is not saved in your contacts. But what if you do not want Truecaller to list your phone number? In the interest of privacy, Truecaller has an option to unlist your phone number. How it works: Visit Truecaller’s unlist page and type in your details. Enter the right captcha and your phone number becomes unlisted. I was surprised that it did not send a confirmation code or something on the phone but then it makes sense. If it does not ask permission before listing them, they do not need to unlist them either. If you have any queries do drop them in comments.
