CallCatalog.com began in 2008 with one goal in mind: helping consumers stop unwanted calls. The minds behind the site decided the best way to accomplish this goal was developing a free reverse phone directory that worked by combining consumers’ knowledge and allowing others to learn from one another’s experiences. Just as one individual might tell a co-worker about a harassing phone call, that individual can now tell millions of other people. By spreading the work and by publicizing information about the companies behind these calls, the founders of CallCatalog.com hope to make the telephone a source of pleasant conversation not of dreaded mechanized voices and impersonal computerized messages from telemarketers. | CallCatalog.com began in 2008 with one goal in mind: helping consumers stop unwanted calls.
