About the subscription to Kaspersky Who Calls

A subscription to Kaspersky Who Calls Premium is a purchase of the right to use the application, subject to certain parameters (for example, the subscription expiration date). You can order a subscription to Kaspersky Who Calls from a service provider (for example, on Google Play or Huawei AppGallery).

Before purchasing or activating a subscription, please make sure that your device's clock is set to the current date and time, or that the network's date and time identification mode is on.

To learn more about managing subscriptions, see this article.

Once your subscription expires (if you have disabled the auto-renewal) or the app was unable to auto-renew your subscription, you might be granted a grace period to renew the subscription. During this period you can continue using the paid features of Kaspersky Who Calls.

After the grace period ends the app will switch to the free version. In this case, you will need to buy a subscription in order to continue using the paid features of the app.

You can cancel your subscription and disable the auto-renewal on your provider's website or app store at any time.

About free, trial and Premium versions

Kaspersky Who Calls is available in several versions:

Free version. The free version of the app is distributed free of charge and can be used for an unlimited period of time. If you use the free version of Kaspersky Who Calls, information about organizations that call you is not available on your device during the incoming call. Also, ads are visible in the app.

Trial version. When you purchase a subscription with auto-renewal, you might be granted a trial period, during which you can use the Premium features of Kaspersky Who Calls for free. This period might only be granted once. After the trial period ends, the service provider will automatically charge you the price of the subscription to the Premium version.

Premium version. In the Premium version of the app:

  • Information about phone numbers, even without an Internet connection
  • Full list of phone number categories available for blocking
  • Outgoing call protection
  • Detection of dangerous, phishing, and advertising links in SMS messages, and alerts about them
  • No ads in the app

If you cancel your subscription during the trial period, you can only use the Premium features of the app until the end of the trial period.

You can order a subscription to the Premium version on the provider's website for the time period of your choice (1 month or 1 year). The subscription to the Premium version includes an auto-renewal of the subscription at the end of each subscription period. If you do not cancel the subscription by turning off the auto-renewal on the provider's website, the subscription will be renewed automatically at the end of the subscription period.

Managing subscriptions

You can purchase a subscription to Kaspersky Who Calls within the app. If you have already purchased a subscription in the Google Play store or the Huawei AppGallery store, it will be restored automatically.

To avoid unexpected charges, make sure you have cancelled or disabled auto-renew for subscriptions that you don't need. Ordering a subscription does not cancel your other subscriptions that this app includes.

You can manage your subscription in your service provider's app store or on My Kaspersky.

Manage your subscription for Kaspersky Who Calls

  1. Go to Settings > Profile.

    A screen with information on your subscription opens.

  2. Check if there are any active subscriptions that include the app for which you are buying a subscription.
  3. Cancel the subscription or disable auto-renewal for subscriptions that you don't need.

After you disable auto-renewal, the subscription will be still available until the end of the paid period. You can renew a subscription in Google Play or Huawei services.

When the paid subscription period ends (if you have cancelled the auto-renewal), you can purchase it again.

If you have just purchased the subscription, the Google Play and Huawei AppGallery services may need some time to process the purchase. This process may take approximately five minutes.
