Even if you answer, then then hang up moments later, it will still deduct minutes form your Tracfone account. The only way to combat this for many users was to try and pay close attention to who was calling, and then simply try to avoid answering it.
But this isn't always possible, and sometimes we answer the phone without thinking. Unwanted texts are also another way we lose valuable minutes. And on Android phones, there isn't a way to choose which texts you open and pay for and which you don't.
So any text you receive on an Android phone reduces your remaining text balance. Well Tracfone must have noticed consumers dissatisfaction with this, because they recently started promoting a free App for Android phones that says it will, "block any unwanted phone calls as well as automatically block all known scam callers.
We're here to test it and find out, and then share the results with you below. For those who might not know, Tracfone is a prepaid wireless cell phone company.

What is the Call Detector App? The Call Detector App makes it possible to select numbers from your contact list or recent callers and choose to block their number.
This is really great if you tend to get a lot of unwanted calls form the same number. Now we want to share what we thought of the app in our review of the Call Detector app. The app takes up about 9 MB of space on the internal memory, which isn't very much, and not a problem for the Ultimate 2 that comes with around 4 GB internal memory, but for some of the older Android phones you may not have much room to work with.
When loading up the app you will have to give Call Detector access to a number of different things on your phone, but this is what allows the app to automatically block calls, and select numbers to block from your list of received calls.
The home screen is simple, and we were able to quickly view either a list of our contacts, or recently received calls and choose from these lists any phone numbers we wanted to block. You can also choose to view the apps activity what phone calls it has blocked , file a complaint through the app, look up a number, or purchase the full version.
We selected a few numbers to block, and then tested the app by using those numbers to call the phone. When a blocked number calls, you briefly see the call screen flash on the smartphone's screen, and then the call is disconnected. In the app's activity section, you get to see who called and what time they called.
We also tested blocking text messages, which we can't tell if this app is supposed to block. It does track both the number of calls blocked and texts, but in our test the text message was not blocked.
We're going to continue testing this. Looking up numbers is also a convenient feature on the Call Detector app and sometimes we would get the name of the caller, other times just the location of where they were calling from. With the free version of the app you only have a certain number of numbers you can look up.
We were not able to test the app's claim that it automatically blocks known scammers, or can automatically notify you if the caller is a telemarketer or debt collector - we just haven't received any calls like this yet. But if you test this out, let us know in the comments how the app functions for you. Does the Call Detector App Work? Well, yes, it does seem to work well at blocking numbers you choose for it to block.
This is very handy if there are certain callers who keep bothering you. Will it block text messages or automatically block telemarketers? We couldn't quite determine this and will continue to investigate. Overall we found this app was well designed, looked good and functioned as expected.
On Google Play it is rated 4. It also has more than , downloads and will work on Android versions 2. There are a variety of other call blocking apps available on Google Play, but none of them seemed any better than Call Detector. Watch the video below to learn more. Clearer-sounding voice calls.
