How to remove your number from Truecaller
Open www.truecaller.com/unlist
Enter your phone number followed by choosing a reason to unlist your number and entering the captcha verification code.
That’s it. The process to unlist your number is now initiated.
According to Truecaller, it takes around 24 hours for the changes to get reflected. But, there are also chances for your number to pop up back in the database when a new person who has the Truecaller app installed on his Smartphone saves your number. Therefore, you will have to keep a tab on Truecaller now and then to know whether your number has been added again.
