Nimbuzz lets you block spam calls with caller ID app, Holaa!

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Nimbuzz, has launched a new Android caller ID app Holaa! which has been developed in India by a team of 13 young developers.

The app is a multi-faceted call management platform, identifies caller’s name along with the caller's photo and location during an incoming call. The app also helps block spam calls from spammers or other unwanted callers.

Holaa! allows users to search people’s names based on their phone numbers and alerts the registered user if the caller is marked as spam by other members of Holaa! community. It further helps by allowing synchronization of Facebook and Google accounts into the phonebook at the same time visually enhancing it by fetching the latest photos. It keeps a tab whenever the user moves away from their home network and notifies if they wish to block calls from unknown numbers.

The app regularly provides additional information about phone book contacts, which the user can add to their directory by using the ‘Merge’ feature. Users can also share contact information for both phone book contacts and unknown contacts with their friends using a share option allowing the sharing of names, mobile numbers, photos and e-mail addresses.

Vikas Saxena, CEO, Nimbuzz India said, “On an average, 4 out of 10 calls that a pre-paid mobile user receives are from unknown numbe rs while 1 out of these 4 unknown calls is a spam call. This makes it one of the mass market needs on smartphones today. Nimbuzz has always tried to address a mass market need, satisfying millions of users. With Nimbuzz we did it for chatting and free voip calls. We hope to do the same with Holaa for call management.”
