Truecaller unveils 'Number Scanning' feature for swift detection, payment

New Delhi [India], Sept. 6 (ANI): Ahead of its updated Android release, Truecaller announced that it will be rolling out two new features ---Number Scanner and Fast Track numbers--aiming to bring communication and payments on the fast-track mode.

Using Number Scanner, users can utilize the app to scan a number directly from business cards, websites, street signs, shop fronts or anywhere one needs to quickly lookup a number or store it to contacts. This will enable users to have the proper resources to receive relevant information quickly, digitally and in their surrounding physical environment.

Further, users in India will also be able to scan a number and pay directly using Truecaller Pay, thus enabling quick payments, as opposed to scanning QR codes. Users can now send or request money, recharge, or even Flash Message any contact from your native phone book.

Truecaller also launched Fast Track numbers, a service which integrates toll-free numbers for emergency services like police, fire, medical care, women's helpline, roadside assistance, as well as essential categories like banks, couriers, airlines, railways, and insurance, all integrated directly into the app, accessible by the user without an internet connection. These also include extremely useful 'Bank Balance Check' numbers that enable a user to check their bank balance via a return SMS from their respective bank via a missed call service.

Located in the search bar, the in-built contacts will help users make phone calls at critical moments with a single tap.

Currently, Fast Track numbers will only be available in India.

"As a product made by the community and for the community, our commitment to our users is to constantly add features that enable them to stay ahead of the curve. These new features make Truecaller even more relevant in the real world. When you see an important phone number, you can directly pull it into your phone with Truecaller and use it, in seconds, to connect or make a payment. Also, during critical moments you can reach out to the right company, person or service with a single tap with Fast track numbers," said Narayan Babu, Director of Product and Engineering at Truecaller.
