It's amazing how people's demands for the same things can change over time. If 20 years ago, caller ID was required - oddly enough - to identify a telephone number, but now the number itself is of little interest to anyone. Now it is important for everyone to know what kind of person or organization is hidden behind these numbers. Until a certain point this was impossible. But as the Internet spread and its influence expanded, specialized applications began to appear that offer to determine who exactly is calling you. However, in my opinion, Yandex came up with the most convenient solution.
There are many caller IDs, but Yandex has the best

I specifically avoid the word “application” in relation to caller ID from Yandex. The fact is that, oddly enough, it does not have a separate client, and the determinant itself is one of the many functions of the Yandex application. Because of this, many users do not even realize that they have this option. And she is.
How to view information about a number if it is not in the list
Even if you do not have any information about the incoming or outgoing number, and Yandex Determinator did not show anything, you can select this number by clicking “About the call”, and there click on the “Find a number in Yandex” tab to get additional information about the number. It is possible that this is a regular spam call. By the way, we have a separate article that tells how to get rid of spam on your phone, which describes all the options: spam SMS, calls, notifications, messages on social networks.
Now you know how to enable Alice from Yandex to identify numbers on your phone, and that this is a very convenient service that allows you to easily view any information about the number available in the search engine and its services. And the best part is that the option is provided free of charge, and all you need is to just activate this technology in the list and use it calmly. Today, the Alice identifier from Yandex works on millions of devices, and, as a rule, all information about subscribers is synchronized on the company’s servers, so the list of unwanted numbers is automatically updated, and you simply receive up-to-date information in a few clicks. If you have any questions, be sure to leave comments under this post and we will answer them.
