Swedish Startup TrueCaller is Building the

World's Largest Phone Number Directory

/PRNewswire/ --

Is it possible to gather all the world's phone numbers into one source?

TrueCaller believes they have the formula in creating the world's largest phone

number directory that covers a global scale. TrueCaller is currently the most

used number lookup service in India.

In a fast growing mobile market like India, where there is no public directory

and where several million new numbers are added each month, it is close to

impossible for conventional number directories to be up to date. In addition to

the volume, prepaid subscriptions with no name registration makes the

situation only more complicated and harder.

Number lookup directories are in general very limited or even non-existing as

soon as you step out of Scandinavia. Nami Zarringhalam, co-founder and CEO

for TrueCaller explains; "We Swedes are extremely spoiled with public

information and the ease of accessing information. But as soon as you take a

step out and look at other countries like

India

or the UK, the number lookup

services are severely limited or non-existing. In some other countries, there are

options but only behind a pay wall, so not freely accessible like TrueCaller".

TrueCaller - much thanks to its number lookup database enhanced by its

regional partners as well as its users - provides the highest quality search

results among such services.

"Our vision is to create the world's largest and most accurate phone book. We

have seen a huge demand for this kind of service and we dare to say that we

are pioneering in the space with our global scale", says Alan Mamedi, co-

founder and COO at TrueCaller.
