Fetch That Number (Australia) for Android queries a reverse phone number lookup service (sometimes known as ‘Grey Pages’ or ‘Black Pages’) for any incoming or outgoing calls that aren’t in your phone contacts. You will be shown the caller ID while the phone is ringing (data connection permitting).
You can then save the fetched caller info after the call and optionally fetch any stored address.
If the phone number is a known spam caller, it will be flagged as such. meaning you can ignore telemarketers when you are busy with work, relaxing, or just plain hate irritating sales pitches!
This app is designed specifically for Android and will only return numbers from Australia. Other countries may be added later.

A traditional lookup will search for a name and return information associated with it.
In comparison, a reverse lookup finds the information (i.e. name, address, fax etc.) related to a specific phone number.

You can install on any device tied to your google market account however your daily limit will NOT increase.
Fetch That Number allows you to do 40 basic reverse lookups and 20 extended reverse lookups a day.
It is a good idea to keep track of why an application needs access to specific parts of your phone system, and just as important developers are transparent about this. Our permission reasons for Fetch That Number are as follows:-
- FULL INTERNET ACCESS - to access the reverse lookup service.
- READ CONTACT DATA - check wether the number is already added to your contacts
- WRITE CONTACT DATA - add the contact to your address book
- DISCOVER KNOWN ACCOUNTS - we use this so you can choose which account you want numbers to be added to.
- VIEW NETWORK STATE - Need to know whether you are connected to the internet before trying to fetch a number.
- READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY - to know when a call starts and stops, and the incoming number being called.
- PROCESS OUTGOING CALLS - This is needed to check outgoing calls numbers in order to fetch from the lookup service.
No.
Fetch That Number will add new numbers and addresses only. after selecting a user to add you are given the option to replace their name, and if you wish to remove the old address and/or number you can do so in the edit screen.
No, unknown numbers don't send any form of Caller ID or other identifiable information so we have nothing to search against.
