… and to do that I first have to live in the United States or Canada and enter on the I D YOU website to download the real Caller ID application on my Smartphone.

This application was developed by I D YOU and it’s called Privus Mobile, a service that displays the name and number of the person who’s calling, even if it’s not in your phone book. This way you’ll always be able to identify a phone number and decide whether to answer or block Caller ID code, even if the incoming call is from another country.

Privus Mobile is the world’s first service of its kind and the only one existent at the moment.

“We’re all looking for ways to have more control over whom we talk to and when – it’s the reason we have mobile phones in the first place,” said I D YOU President Greg Smith. “By showing the names of incoming callers – especially those not already loaded in a phone’s contacts – Privus Mobile gives users the power to make more informed decisions about which calls they take.”

The application is supported only by those handsets and service providers that use simultaneous voice and data communication, but the other person that’s calling you doesn’t have to use an enabled handset.
Maybe it sounds like breaking the privacy of users, but I think it’s cool to use it when i need to know who a phone number belongs too.

After the free 3-day trial period, you will have to subscribe to the service and the amount depends on the cell phone model and the subscription period. For example, a 3-months subscription on a Blackberry costs $24.95, while a 12-months subscription is $89.95. Here is the list of supported handsets.

“People are receiving more and more calls on their wireless phones, and they want to know everyone who’s calling them, but this Caller ID service that was commonplace on home phones just hasn’t been available on wireless phones until Privus,” added Smith. “One of the additional benefits of the service is that Privus Mobile will save the caller’s name and number into your contact list with the push of a button; or automatically if you wish. No more tedious entering names for every new person who calls you – when they call, you’ll get all of their contact information on your display.”
