Truecaller, a leading search technology company that is transforming your phonebook to make it more intelligent and useful, today announces the launch of the Arabic keypad for Truedialer on Google Play. This new initiative will complement the great user experience of the Truecaller app so that users in the Arab world can replace their existing contacts app with Truedialer to enjoy a superior app with various predictive features.

Truedialer brings a smarter and more intelligent experience that goes beyond a phone’s standard dialer. Unlike a standard dial pad, Truedialer gives instant access to relevant information about contacts that users are trying to dial. If users are dialing a number for an individual or business outside of their phonebook, they’ll be able to see the name, and even a profile photo of whom they’re about to dial before they place the call.

“The Truedialer app provides a very easy and convenient user interface to replace the traditional phonebook app, and improves the overall smartphone experience,” said Nami Zarringhalam, co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Truecaller. “The Middle East is a very important market for us and we wanted to reinforce our commitment to our users here and provide them with an authentic Truedialer experience in their own language. Adding the Arabic keypad to Truedialer was therefore a natural next step in our development of Truedialer.”

With Truedialer, you can:
Automatically search for information about a number you are dialing. As you type in a number, Truedialer seamlessly searches your own contact list and Truecaller’s database of over a billion numbers. You can instantly learn the name of an individual or business belonging to a number you dial, even if they’re not in your contact list.
Automatically fill in missing contact information in your call log with information from Truecaller’s database. Truedialer takes out the guesswork of trying to remember which name is behind which unassigned number in the call log; it’s perfect for those making lots of calls to acquaintances and professional contacts.
Protect yourself from spam and scams. If the number you’re about to dial has been reported by Truecaller’s community as an unwanted number, you’ll be warned before placing the call.
Quickly dial your favorite contacts with T9 search (predictive text)


Truedialer is available for free on Android, and a version of the app is also available on Windows Phone. You can also download the free Truecaller app on popular platforms including Android, iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and Nokia feature phones.
