How this is calculated

People counted here received at least one inbound OsmO call that UTC day.
From people you know: the caller matched a saved contact with a real name, not a number or placeholder.
Unknown calls are split by OsmO’s priority signal into ones worth answering and quiet ones that usually should not interrupt you.
This is OsmO product data, not a census of every caller in a country.

Privacy thresholds

Only aggregate counts leave our database. A region stays hidden until it has at least 30 people and 100 calls. No names, numbers, recordings or transcripts are used.
