## Description

**Private Callr** is a Chrome extension designed to protect your privacy during phone calls, especially on person-to-person online selling platforms. It allows users to make calls using a private phone number instead of their real one, ensuring anonymity and security.

Avoid the risk of sharing your real number when calling toll-free lines that might repeatedly call back regardless of Do Not Call lists. Private Callr helps you take control by providing a secure and anonymous calling experience. The extension is free to download and use, but users agree to terms ensuring no misuse or misleading behavior through the service.

## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's core function of making anonymous calls and find customer support helpful in restoring some features. However, many report significant issues with purchasing minutes not being credited, calls deducting full minute credits regardless of call duration, and the removal of features like custom caller ID selection and call recording. Frequent app crashes and lack of responsiveness from support have also caused frustration. Users feel the recent updates have made the app less functional and less valuable compared to its previous versions.

### Pros

- The app allows making calls with different or anonymous caller numbers, useful for privacy and pranking.
- Customer support can help reactivate old features allowing custom caller ID numbers.
- Affordable pricing for additional call credits compared to similar apps.
- Easy to use and functions as described in the older versions.
- Helps users communicate in situations where revealing their number is not desirable.

### Cons

- Recent updates removed the ability to choose any custom caller ID number; users are limited to pre-selected numbers.
- Purchasing minutes often results in minutes not being credited; customer support is unresponsive or requires complicated proof of purchase.
- Calls charge a full minute from balance even if the call lasts only a few seconds or is unanswered.
- The app frequently crashes and sometimes does not recognize the user's phone number after purchase.
- Removal of popular previous features such as call recording and custom number input has led to user dissatisfaction.
