iCaughtYou UK Shutdown (2026)

As of 2026, iCaughtYou has officially ceased its operations across all UK mobile networks. Users who previously relied on the service to unmask "No Caller ID" calls will find that the routing numbers and backend infrastructure are no longer supported on carriers like EE, O2, Vodafone, and Three.

Transitioning to a Working Alternative

For former iCaughtYou users who still need to identify unknown callers and prevent harassment, transitioning to a native UK platform is necessary. PrivStop was engineered specifically for the British telecom architecture, providing the exact same "decline to unmask" functionality but with modern, UK-based server infrastructure ensuring sub-second processing.

Actionable Evidence

Just like older platforms, PrivStop provides timestamped logs, carrier data, and SMS alerts that serve as robust evidence when reporting severe harassment to Ofcom or the local authorities. If your old service has stopped working, you can set up a new UK routing number in minutes.
