Because along with Greater Manchester Police, and Friends Against Scams (FAS), Phonely is offering 10 people the chance to try out our CallGuard protection. This powerful technology has been designed to protect you from scam calls and give you back the confidence to answer your phone without worry. And the best part? It’s completely FREE for a whole 6 months!

How Greater Manchester Police, FAS & Phonely can help

Greater Manchester Police, Phonely, and FAS (A subsidiary of National Trading Standards) have come together to make your phone experience safer. To do this, we’ve launched a pilot, in which we’re giving away 10 Phonely CallGuard packages. These packages are available to anyone who wants to protect themselves from annoying and potentially dangerous scam calls.

To grab one of these limited packages, simply email fraudstrive@gmp.police.uk with your name and contact number. It’s as easy as that! If Greater Manchester Police offer you the CallGuard system, you should ensure you have a good broadband connection. You’ll also need to switch your current phone line provider to Phonely. While the cost of changing providers isn’t covered (sometimes there are exit fees), CallGuard‘s benefits make it worth considering.

What is CallGuard & why do you need it?

CallGuard is a powerful feature which uses a combination of smart technology and human intervention to block scam callers at every turn. Unique to Phonely, and built by our in-house technical team, CallGuard offers robust protection against scams, not offered by other providers.

Call blocking

Phonely’s auto call blocking system goes further than any call blocking device or auto-block service. While competitors rely on monthly updates from third-party databases, we recognised that scammers can change their digits hourly with digital numbers. Our Who Called Me website allows near-instant updates to our auto-block list. Within the hour of reporting, in fact. Plus, our self block feature empowers customers to add scam numbers directly, with popular entries added to our auto-block database daily. This approach ensures that Phonely account holders receive the most up-to-date protection against unwanted calls.

Unique scam-busting features

But you’re not just getting a call blocker with CallGuard. If scammers dail through they will hear an anti-fraud introduction. It will warn them that their call is being recorded and that you are protected. If that’s not enough to stop them in their tracks, our system will be able to check for words commonly used by criminals and notify your trusted person. There is a live call join facility so customers can have assistance during a potentially fraudulent call, suspicious call alerts are available along with so much more.

Here are a few key benefits of using CallGuard:

• Peace of mind: Know that you’re protected from scam calls, so you can answer your phone without fear.
• Save time: No more wasting time dealing with annoying & disruptive calls.
• Protect your finances: Prevent scam callers from trying to trick you into handing over personal or financial information.

CallGuard doesn’t just prevent phone scams—it empowers you to take back control of your phone. And with this special offer from Greater Manchester Police, you can try it for free for 6 months. It’s a great opportunity to see how much safer and more confident you’ll feel using your home phone.

FAQS:

Below we’ve answered some questions you might have about this offer.

I already have a call blocker, how does this differ?

Call blocking devices and auto-call blocking from digital voice providers rely on monthly 3rd party updates. These blocked numbers could have long been discarded. Phonely blocks reported scam numbers within the hour and update the database daily with commonly blocked numbers from customers.

Will my phone be compatible with Phonely’s system?

You don’t need to worry about this. We will send you a free VoIP adapter that allows you to use your current analogue phone as normal.

What happens after 6 month’s free trial?

Whatever you like! You can choose to part ways with us (no hard feelings) or we can move you onto one of our CallGuard plans.

Can I keep my number?

Of course! Just let us know that’s what you’d like to do and we will take care of porting your number for you.

Absolutely! We will send you everything you need to know, you can find helpful set-up videos on our website, or you can call us and we will talk you through it.
