SpoofCard Review: A Comprehensive Look At SpoofCard
Posted by: | CommentsThe SpoofCard site states “SpoofCard allows me to make my calls truly private. I can display any number on the Caller ID, record my calls and change my voice. Whether for business or fun, it is inexpensive and easy to use!” We’re here to take a look at SpoofCard.com and let everyone know what we think after a few months of use. Let’s start off by taking a look at the the sign up/purchase process.
Signing up for SpoofCard is done by visiting SpoofCard.com and clicking on the “Purchase Minutes” link. SpoofCard’s buy page is very straight forward – select your purchase amount, either $10, $20, $40, or $80 worth of call time, enter your credit card information and your email address and your done. Your account is created instantly and your PIN number and toll free access number are delivered to the email address you entered on buy page. We logged in to our email account and found the email with all this information was already there waiting for us.
When we called SpoofCard’s toll free access number and entered our PIN number for the first time, we were surprised at how advanced, yet straightforward, the menu was. To place a call with SpoofCard press 1, to listen to your recorded calls press 2, to purchase more minutes for your PIN 3, and to reach live customer support, between 9am and 5pm EST, press 0. After pressing 1 to place a call, you begin your navigation through the SpoofCard phone menu. The first step is to enter the 10 digit phone number you wish to call followed the by # key. The second step is to enter the 10 digit number you want to show up on the caller id followed by the # key. These are probably the two most important steps! The third step is the voice changer where you can decide if you want to change your voice to a man or a woman, use your normal voice, or test out the voice changer and then listen to your samples. The last step is the call recorder, where you press 1 to record your call or 2 to skip recording. At this point your call is instantly put through! While the menu may seem like a lot of steps to go through, we found that everything can be completed quickly, especially the more you use the service and become familiar with the menus.
In our tests, we found that the voice changer is fun, but not that realistic, as some people may expect. The trick with the voice changer is to change the tone or pitch of your voice when speaking into the phone and then the voice changer voice will sound more realistic. The call quality of our calls through SpoofCard over the past few months has been great. We’ve tested other caller id spoofing services, namely (the old) Telespoof and SpoofTel, where the call quality wasn’t consistently as good as SpoofCard’s. We also found that SpoofCard turned out to be more reliable than the later with no downtime on their access numbers.
One of the best features, in our opinion, is the live customer service during normal business hours. Whenever we needed help we were able to press 0 at the main menu and were put through to a customer service rep at SpoofCards office. We’ve never seen this before with any other caller id spoofing providers. This could be a big help for business customers who may need instant assistance from time to time. SpoofCard also offers email support, with same day or next day turn around time, but we prefer the phone support.
SpoofCard also has a full featured web control panel where you can view your account details, add additional minutes to your PIN, view your call history, playback or download your recorded calls, and even transfer minutes between other Spoof Card PINs. Our favorite feature is the call history where SpoofCard shows you the number you called, the date/time of the call, the length of the call, your spoofed caller id, your voice changer selection, a link to the call recording, and the option to delete the record of the call, for maximum privacy. We found that SpoofCard’s web control panel has more built in options than any other spoofing provider. If you have a lot of calls you can even search through your logs for certain records. We were a little surprised that SpoofCard doesn’t offer a web interface allowing users to place calls from their site, which some other providers do offer, but when we asked them about the feature they said that they are working on it. So we may finally see this in the near future.
SpoofCard Pros: Easy to use, low purchase price, instant account setup, toll free number works from Canada, free call recording, voice changer, awesome web control panel, live telephone support!
SpoofCard Cons: Small “maintenance fee” every few weeks, voice changer could be better.

SpoofCard On Your iPhone
Posted by: | CommentsThanks for the folks at SpoofApp.com, SpoofCard’s caller id spoofing application can now be accessed right from your iPhone, allowing calls to be placed that take full advantage of SpoofCard’s free call recorder and voice changer. SpoofApp is NOT a native iPhone app and is distributed through Installer.app, so it requires you to have a “jailbroken” iPhone, meaning that you need to be brave enough to go against Apple’s recommendations and hack your iPhone to allow you to install 3rd party (unofficial) iPhone applications. If you already have a jailbroken iPhone with Installer.app you’ll know just how easy it is to install these apps. We really love these third party apps and until Apple releases their own iTunes app store this Summer, this is definitely the best and easiest way to get great 3rd party applications onto your iPhone.
SpoofApp is an easy to use application and is very straight-forward with its configuration, which is something that we appreciated. About the only thing required for SpoofApp to work is your SpoofCard PIN number. SpoofApp has very nice iPhone address book integration which makes it easy to select the numbers that you want to call if they’re already in your contact list. Most people these days don’t know the numbers of their friends, since they just put them in their contact list and never have to dial the number direct. So the address book integration is really the killer feature of the SpoofApp for us.
SpoofApp’s voice changer feature is easy to select and the call recording option for SpoofCard is selectable before placing each call. The only thing we don’t like is the “Area Code” setting, which we’re guessing, allows users to enter 7 digit numbers, instead of full 10 digit numbers, and then automatically have the area code added when placing the calls. SpoofCard requires 10 digit numbers, so whether you want to enter 7 digit, or 10 digit numbers into SpoofApp is up to you.
Overall, we think SpoofApp is a KILLER iPhone app and a great distribution model for SpoofCard!

Free Fake Caller ID for April Fools and a Prank IDEA
Posted by: | Comments“Disclaimer you should not do this”
If you heard of spoofcard you will know its a service that is used for caller ID spoofing. They are offering for tomorrow only free fake caller id all day long. So its a one time sorta deal. Get in on it while you can and prank your friends and good buddys that are always getting you first on april fools. Now most of you can’t think up anything interesting so i will give you one thing to use.
For this prank your friend is going to need a girlfriend that sometimes wonders about there boyfriend being a little on the gay side and this will hammer it home. You may now know where this is going. Find your local gay bar in the phone book and write down the number. You won’t need it right away but this prank has 2 parts.
Now use spoofcard to call his girlfriend spoofing your friends cell phone number. She will say hello and you say “in a gay voice” hi this is pedro from “Gay Bar Name” we have a cell phone we found last night in the bar we are trying to find the owner of it. We looked in the phone and seen you were one of the last dailed numbers. Then have a little fun saying you dailed her since you figured it was best not to use the contacts “DAD and MOM in the phone”. Now here’s the deal sealer. To make things seem alot more real just hang up all the sudden in mid sentence and hit end on the call.
Now i think you may know where this is going. Now hangup on the spoofcard side to and redail her number and this time use the gay bars number. The gay bar’s name will come up on her caller id. She will answer. Now all her doubt about someone just having her boyfriends phone and was just messing around will fade a bit more.
You have now called from his number and the gay bars number” Then say sorry the phones battery went dead but if she wanted to pick up the phone around 7 pm would be good. If all goes well your buddy will come home from work and she will have some pretty weird damn questions for him. NOW you know he’s going to DENY being at a gay bar last night when the question is asked. She will ask how he got his phone back and most likely thing he knew he lost it there and picked it up on his way home from work.
Then you can maybe drop by at there place just after work unexpected in the middle of little fight maybe and just be like “HEY guys hows everything going”. Then tell them “APRIL FOOLS SUCKAS”.
