Spam calls bounce off
Blocked · High risk · 10+ people reported this
Example number.
When an unknown number calls, bbounced checks it against ratings from people in the Philippines, saved on your phone. If enough people reported it, the call is stopped before it rings, or rings silently if you prefer.
- One report never blocks a number. It takes several different people.
- Counts are rough on purpose: “10+ people reported this”, never an exact number.
- Unknown isn't safe, and reported isn't proven. bbounced says which is which.

Known malicious link
Don't open it, and don't reply.
bbounced reads the links in your texts on your phone and warns you before you open one:
- A bank or wallet name on a site that isn't theirs, like “gcash” on a stranger's website
- Short links that hide where they go
- Cheap web addresses with words like “claim” or “verify”
- Known scam sites on bbounced's list, kept up to date
Your texts are never uploaded. A link that looks fine is shown as “no known threat”, never as “safe”.
What stays on your phone, and what doesn't
Calls are checked on your phone, even offline. bbounced never waits for the internet to decide whether your phone rings.
