IB has told DoT that in free version of this application caller id on receiver screen starts with +1777 where as in paid version any number can be set to display as caller id.
The Intelligence agency has written that the server of We Phone is located outside India and any call made from We Phone is routed through the server located abroad and therefore it is difficult to identify and locate the actual calling number or user. When checked at Android and iOS, the application is still available and running.
