First Orion Launches PrivacyStar Application for Android Featuring Caller ID
Powerful Privacy Solution Provides Unlimited Call Blocking, Caller ID, Caller Lookup, Ability to Report Telemarketing Violations and More
CONWAY, Ark., Aug. 5 -- First Orion, a corporation with a significant intellectual property portfolio dedicated to phone privacy and preference, today announced the availability of the PrivacyStar(TM) application for Android smartphones. PrivacyStar is a feature-rich privacy application providing comprehensive and unlimited call blocking, the ability to report violators of Do Not Call laws to the relevant authorities in the United States and Canada and new to mobile phones - Caller ID*.
PrivacyStar is available for download at the Android Market.
"We are excited to introduce PrivacyStar to the Android community," said Jeff Stalnaker, CEO of First Orion. "PrivacyStar offers a host of features that will appeal to everyone who wants to increase the functionality of their phone, from unlimited call blocking to our newest, groundbreaking addition - Caller ID. PrivacyStar is the first app that provides mobile users with the same Caller ID service that consumers typically have on their landline phones."
PrivacyStar's Caller ID is the first of its kind on mobile phones. Taking the same level of service that is usually found only on landline phones, PrivacyStar displays the name of the person who is calling as the mobile phone is ringing or buzzing. Current PrivacyStar subscribers have been enjoying caller look-up by looking up the name of the person via their call log. Now along with caller lookup, PrivacyStar users can immediately see who is calling and then make a decision to answer or not.
PrivacyStar's versatile call blocking functionality gives Android users the ability to block individual numbers, entire area codes or all private and unknown numbers. PrivacyStar subscribers can enter wild card numbers to block an entire area code or to stop potential spoofed numbers.
PrivacyStar's unique feature-set also includes, SmartBlock, which proactively blocks the most blocked numbers as determined by all PrivacyStar users. Users are able to select SmartBlock in their app settings menu to keep known nuisance callers from reaching them. Do Not Disturb with automatic text messaging enables users to send a custom text message while sending callers to voicemail.
PrivacyStar remains the first and only mobile app that captures detailed information about possible telemarketing violations including date, time, number and identity and automates the process of supplying this information to law enforcement authorities for further action.
All Do Not Call complaints and blocked calls can be managed, including unblocking, from a personal web portal that is automatically synced with the device.
