Report a number
Official ranges aren't enough: spam keeps evolving. Your reports help the community spot the numbers still getting through — and avoid false positives.
Why report?
Known unwanted-number ranges cover the recognised spam numbers. But spam goes further: some out-of-range numbers are misused, sometimes one-off or on rotation. When several people report the same number, it rises in the community database and can feed the "Suspect" level.
Two kinds of report
- Problem — commercial cold call, scam / fraud, robocall / automated call, or "other".
- Legitimate — the opposite, to say a number is fine. When you move a number to "Allowed", Allociao offers to report it as legitimate. That helps cut false positives for the whole community.
How to report — from the app
- Open the Calls tab and tap the number in question (or use the Report tab).
- Choose the status or the "Report" button, pick the reason, and — if you like — add an optional comment.
When you move a number to Blocked or Suspect, the app offers to report it right away; when you move it to Allowed, it offers to report it as legitimate.
What gets sent — and what doesn't
- The reported number (the one that called you)
- The reason (problem or legitimate)
- A comment, only if you add one
- An anonymous random identifier, generated at install
Your personal phone number is never included. The random identifier only exists to stop the same device inflating a number's score; it's tied to no account and no email address. Details on the privacy policy.
