Boontel picks up first, asks who is calling and why, then flags pressure tactics while the call is still happening. No new number, no change to how you call out.
Creating an account is free and takes about a minute. You choose a plan later, in the iPhone app, where Apple shows the price before anything is charged.
The setup is identical. All that changes is who holds the account and who gets the alerts.
You hold the account and handle the one-time setup. They keep their own phone and their own habits, and you can be invited as their caregiver to see alerts when a call looks wrong.
The same protection with no caregiver involved. Unfamiliar callers are screened before your phone rings, so you get context on a stranger instead of having to judge one on the spot.
Boontel protects supported inbound calls. It does not replace your cellular service or support emergency calling to 911 or 988.
During setup, Boontel assigns a Guardian number in your area. You can hand that number out directly, forward the number you already have to it, or do both — nothing forces you to give up a number people know.
Forwarding is optional. Carrier support and codes vary, so confirm the instructions with your carrier. Keep your OFF code available.
Give the Guardian number to the people who should be able to reach you. Calls to it are screened before the phone rings, and no carrier setup is needed.
Keep giving out the number everyone knows, and set up carrier forwarding so incoming calls to it route through the Guardian number for screening first.
You can use both numbers at once. The Guardian number and your existing carrier number can be active at the same time, and outgoing calls and texts continue through your carrier either way.
Boontel focuses on the moments when a small piece of context can prevent a costly mistake.
Callers to your Guardian number—or your existing number when forwarding is enabled—can be asked who they are and why they are calling.
During supported calls, Boontel can flag impersonation, urgent payment requests, code harvesting, and other suspicious cues.
See call activity and available summaries according to the privacy and retention choices enabled on your account.
Unknown callers can be screened for identity and intent. You decide whether the call should continue with more information than a phone number alone can provide.
Boontel separates routine activity from calls that deserve attention, with understandable labels instead of a wall of technical data.
Caregiver access is invitation-based and controlled by the protected account. Available alerts and call details follow the account’s sharing and retention settings.
A trusted caregiver must be linked through the Boontel account. Access can be removed.
Caregivers can review supported alerts and call activity instead of relying on second-hand details.
Transcription, recording, retention, and sharing depend on explicit settings and applicable consent requirements.
One plan, covering one protected person, billed monthly or annually. There is nothing to compare and no tier to outgrow.

No. Boontel assigns a Guardian number for supported inbound calls. You can optionally forward incoming calls from your existing carrier number to it. Outbound calls and text messages continue through your carrier, and emergency calls must use your carrier service.
Not if your carrier supports call forwarding. The Boontel app guides you through forwarding incoming calls from your existing number to your Guardian number. Carrier support and codes vary, and forwarding remains optional.
No. Recording is off by default. Transcription, recording, retention, and caregiver sharing follow the controls available in your account and applicable consent requirements.
No safety tool can catch every scam. Boontel looks for common risk patterns and provides context to help you make a safer decision.
