Latest from our blog



    We've all had to deal with the same thing. Your phone rattles furiously as it's bombarded with nuisance call after nuisance call and you have no way of knowing who's calling. Will it be over enthused telemarketers or, perhaps even more annoying, a swift click and the dialing-tone drone? Should you take the call or ignore it? Who's on the other end?
    Rest assured that you're not alone. In a world where cold callers can sometimes seem to hold a global monopoly over phone lines, tellows aims to provide a solution. We function as a vast online database of phone number profiles, generated thanks to feedback and reviews from our online community. Providing an online platform where users can share their experiences of these kinds of calls and flag up numbers responsible for junk calls means that information on suspicious numbers becomes readily available, helping other members of the tellows community to anticipate potential risk calls. Join the international community that is currently operating in 47 countries with more than 200,000 users on a daily basis and download the new tellows app today for your iPhone or android.

    Here at tellows.co.uk, not only can we provide up-to-date information on regional nuisance-call trends and currently active numbers with the heatmap, we also pinpoint the origin of your call and display it on a map by identifying the prefix.
    We ontop feature the pinpoint location your call originated from and display it on a map, using the dialling code. Learn more about international dialling codes.

    2. Dwayne K reported EE or Vodafone scam with the number ‎01952960779 as Harassment calls

      10/12/24, 2:09 PM

      A scam call claimed to be from EE, offering to reduce bills. After blocking the number, similar calls continued from nearly identical numbers. Clearly, the goal was to deceive and persist with the same fraudulent tactic. Blocking didn't stop the harassment, highlighting the relentless nature of these scams.

    4. AlexK reported Mobile network scam with the number ‎07418374812 as Harassment calls

      10/12/24, 12:42 PM

      The caller claimed to be from O2, offering a 30% discount, but spoke with a heavy foreign accent, making it difficult to understand. Feeling uncertain and unable to grasp the details, the person decided to hang up. The unclear communication and unsolicited offer made the call feel suspicious, further reinforcing the likelihood that it was a scam attempt. Always stay cautious when receiving unexpected offers like these!

    5. Kay C reported EE or Vodafone scam with the number ‎07418374812 as Harassment calls

      10/14/24, 2:57 PM

      The caller claimed to be from EE and asked a few questions about my phone type and the amount of my last bill. I pointed out that if she was really from EE, she should already have this information. When I mentioned that I suspected it was a hoax, she hung up immediately.

    Where does the information on telephone numbers come from?

    tellows provides a platform where those who receive frequent spam and scam phone calls can share their knowledge on a particular caller by commenting on the phone number's profile. Profiles are generated automatically if a number is being searched for the first time. We categorise calls by type (debt collection, sweepstakes, etc.) and give the number in question a tellows score, which indicates whether a number is trustworthy or suspicious, helping you to decide whether or not to take the call. This risk rating is generated by a complex algorithm that incorporates data such as user ratings and search statistics. Want to find out more about how the tellows score works?
    The bulk of the information on the site comes from user reviews and our database is constantly expanding and becoming more detailed thanks to information from you, our online community. By providing information on a number, you can help innumerable other people to anticipate and avoid a malicious call.
