TrapCall Blocked Call Unmasking Service Debuts in Canada for Rogers, Telus, and Bell
Update 1: Congrats to the following winners of TrapCall trials (check your emails!):
– Tim
– Derrick Rockwell
– Belsim70
TrapCall is from TelTech Systems, and first made headlines in the U.S. with its initial free blocked call unmasking service. The company has now officially expanded its service outside U.S. borders to launch today in Canada to support customers on Rogers, Fido, Telus, and Bell.
TrapCall users subscribe to a monthly service, setup the program, and then login with the free iPhone app. When you receive a blocked call, you decline it on your phone where the number will be routed to TrapCall, and sent back to you revealing the identification of the caller.
How is TrapCall able to do this? All businesses that own a toll free number are privy to extra information on calls received, such as caller ID and more. Essentially you are subscribing to your own toll free number via TrapCall, thus enabling your own service.
It’s a loophole that some see as controversial based on the premise that some blocked calls have their purposes (i.e. people in dangerous relationships), but on the other side of the coin it allows others to discover the ID of those constant blocked calls from telemarketers (and stalkers). You can even blacklist callers so they hear a message that your line has been ‘disconnected’.
Monthly price plans start at $4.95 and go as high as $24.95 with the most features, such as call recording.
Regardless of your intentions, TrapCall is a service that has expanded to Canada to work on the ‘Big 3’ carriers. Since TrapCall includes its own voicemail service within its plans, Rogers and Fido customers will have to disable their voicemail in order to have it setup.
You can check out the TrapCall iPhone app here and check out their website here.

Looks great. Would love to it try?
For what I do for a living that is a great app.
Mehh y not
I wanna it. It would be so usefull.
Looks like a great thing to try!
Would Also love to give it a go
Looks like this could come in handy to prove its my ex wife calling me and hanging up!!
quite interesting… I wish it worked on home phones too!
Sounds like a great idea! I get more calls from hospitals than I’d want to admit, but they are always “blocked” calls, so I am forced to answer every “blocked” call. This app would be great, as I could distinguish between telemarketers and the hospital!
Gotta have it.
Now I can see who calls at 3am! I’d love to be a lucky winner of a free month trial.
Looks like an interesting solution. I can’t see paying $24.95 to be able to record phone calls, etc. but the basic service is reasonably priced – especially for those who often get calls from masked numbers.
It would be great to try this!
Please, pretty please with a cherry on top, choose me.
This is a really great app. I would like to try it out.
Neato!
Well, seems expensive but could be worth it. Here is to hoping I can get the trial and see if I would even want to go this route.
That’s would be interesting to c
I read this about a week ago and it wasn’t available here in Canada, I would love this App!!
i would like to try this
If its 4,95$ with the voicemail its a better deal than fido’s 7$ vmail. I’d love to try it
If its 4,95$ with the voicemail its a better deal than fido’s 7$ vmail. I’d love to try it
It is $4.95 with the voicemail, which includes visual voicemail if you’ve got the iPhone or Android app!
Love to win a trial!
I’d love to win a trial!! if we can get it for 4.95/m with vm – I’ll be subscribing
Great service I tried to get it done before until the part about carriers, how long until I know I lost the free trial so I can subscribe?
This would something nice to have. I’m getting sick of receiving blocked calls from telemarketers and scammers.
Okey here it goes. I could really use this service. Now , I don’t need to get into the reasons why or the ethics behind it. This service could be an enormously useful tool to me. In fact, even if I don’t get a free trial I am considering purchasing a subscription. Possubly on mulitiple lines . Though I think a “try before you buy” period of time would most likely push a decision on my part. I sure would like a to be chosen to try this product.
I am very interested in this! A free trial would certainly allow me to decide if it’s right for me.
That would be sweet if I won 🙂
free trial for me?
I would love to win a free month trial of TrapCall, so I can finally find out the identity of the person who has been calling my cell, for months now, at anytime of day or night. This could be my answer to ending this harassment!
I simply don’t answer any call with blocked ID. I don’t even bother to get voice mail service. If you want me to answer your call, unmask your caller ID!! We know pretty much for sure that the blocked called IDs will most likely be telemarketers or scammers except for some groups of people such as police dept. So, what are you gonna do after the service unmask the number for you? I think personally this service will be just entertainment for people like me. It will be fun to find out the evil behind the mask, but no further action is needed to be done. However, I do love the function that I can blacklist the number and the caller will receive a voice message saying this number has been disconnected. I guess it will eventually decrease the amount of blacked calls.
Sounds like a pretty cool app, I’m sick of blocked calls, coming in. those darn you; won a trip send us your credit info
Will it work to unmask calls coming from a cell phone?
I’m asking this question because I have a toll-free number and when someone calls me from his cell phone, I don’t see their real number even if the caller id is not blocked… I see the routing switch number (or something like that).
This service sounds awesome I have been waiting for it to be released in canada!
Great idea !
Sign me up!
Sounds awesome… Finally get rid of bothersome calls… Thanks.
Sounds amazing. Would love to give it a shot.
Sounds awesome…would love to try it!
def helpful to those who get a lot of blocked calls.
And fun for everyone else.
I’d enjoy using it.
This sounds pretty amazing! Would love to try it. (:
The problem is that you will loose your Visual Voicemail on your iPhone. Visual Voicemail was THE feature that attracted me to the iPhone in the first place.
I like the idea of a recording saying it’s be disconnected. Free trail please!!!
Sounds incredible – would be very willing to try this!
well i got the service for my rogers iphone 4s but seems i have to cancel my voicemail package that includes my unlimited txting which is the reason trap call will not activate on my iphone so i might have to cancel trap call now 🙁
Super APP!! I hope I win.!
Woohoo, I actually won something! Can’t wait to try this service out, got a few I would like to test it on.
I need your email ;). Contact me!
I had trap call in Canada since March 2011.
Please add Virgin Mobile Canada to your carriers!
Virgin is Bell… So it should still work…
