## Description

NCID Android brings seamless Network Caller ID (NCID) functionality to your Android smartphone. Compatible with Android 4.2 and above, the app allows you to view call and message logs directly on your device. Stay informed with instant visual and audio notifications for new NCID calls and messages. Additionally, you can conveniently manage phone numbers by adding them to the NCID server's black or white lists right from your phone.

For enhanced control, NCID Android supports remote device operations such as composing text messages and dialing numbers via supported Relay Control clients like NCIDpop. Please note that using this app requires a running NCID server. For setup instructions, visit the NCID Project Page. Enjoy Network Caller ID features wherever you are — from your couch or patio — with NCID Android.
