I don’t care about personal contact or business calls, but I feel very uncomfortable when I receive a subscription invitation or promotional contact. I don’t think my personal information has been leaked, so if I don’t know the phone number, I don’t seem to get it at all.
1. KT114
KT114 (114 On), operated by KT, can search unknown phone numbers. In the case of spam or advertisement, you can also view the reported details, and you can report spam contacts you received.

Most business phone numbers in use in Korea are registered on 114, so you can check here if the business is operating normally. However, there is a disadvantage that you cannot check places that are not registered in 114.
In KT114, you can also look up 010 phone numbers and spam/criminal numbers.

If it doesn’t come up even after searching, you can ask directly, and you can also check the spam report history on the first page. This is a useful feature when you search for phone numbers that you don’t even know about numbers in real-time search terms.

You can search for ‘the call’ or ‘search unknown phone number’ on Google or Naver.

2. WhoWho App
It seems that the method of filtering out unknown phone numbers in advance is more popular these days, as there may be problems later if there are calls that you must answer among the calls that you do not receive.
WhoWho, an application that can be used by U+ users, is a service that informs the source of a received call by checking the keyword and security number designated by the smartphone user. It used to be only available on Android, but now it’s also supported on the Apple App Store.
When a call comes in that contains the word you entered, a notification window automatically pops up, and if you click the View Details button, the other party’s name, company name, address, and even the type of business are displayed.
The best feature is that it can detect call interception and protect your phone from malicious apps. There is also a security feature that protects your family from crimes such as voice phishing.
