Truecaller launched on Ooredoo app, offering advanced spam and scam protection

Ooredoo Maldives has enabled customers to subscribe to Truecaller Premium directly through the Ooredoo app, following an exclusive partnership with the global caller identification and spam protection platform.

The multinational telecom operator said the integration allows customers to access Truecaller’s premium features more conveniently, with subscription fees added to postpaid bills or deducted from prepaid credit. The service is available through Holhuashi on the Ooredoo app.

Ooredoo described Truecaller as the world’s leading app for caller identification and protection against spam and fraudulent calls, an issue that has seen a steady rise globally and in the Maldives. The company said the advanced features of Truecaller Premium will help customers take greater control of unwanted calls and messages.

The premium features include:
