A lot of us like using Truecaller because it makes life a little easier. It tells you who is calling, helps cut down those annoying spam calls, and even lets you record calls, even if your phone’s dialer does not have that option. With all these handy features, it has become an everyday app for many people. If you have spent some time using it, you might have come across a message that says “Oops! Search limit exceeded.”
This usually pops up when you look up too many numbers in a day. After around ten searches, the app puts a stop to it and shows this error. It can be frustrating, even more so if you are someone who likes to check numbers often.
This piece will help you understand why the limit exceeded message shows up on Truecaller and what can be done about it.
How to Fix Truecaller Search Limit Exceeded Error
Upgrade to Premium
One important thing to know is that free accounts only come with 10 searches per day. Since most people use the free version, the error appears as soon as those 10 searches are done. This is also clearly mentioned in Truecaller’s official articles. The simplest solution is to switch to the premium version, which gives you unlimited searches.
The nice part is that Truecaller also has a family plan, just like YouTube. So if the premium price feels a bit heavy, you can team up with your friends or family and share the plan. That way, the cost gets divided and becomes lighter on everyone.
If you don’t want to go for premium, you can still check out the other methods below.
Use a VPN
Another way to go around the limit is by using a VPN. Truecaller counts your daily searches based on your IP address. So once you finish 10 searches, the app blocks more searches from that same IP. A VPN can help here because it lets you change your IP to a different one.
That means after completing 10 searches, you can switch to another location in your VPN and continue searching for numbers. For example, you can choose a server in a different city or country.
If you do not want to pay for a premium, this trick can be useful. Just remember to change the VPN location each time you hit the limit.
Try the Truecaller Website or Another Account
There is also a simple trick you can try outside the app to bypass the Truecaller search limit exceeded error. Truecaller’s own website lets you search for numbers too. The only thing is, you still have to log in. To keep using it, you can sign in with a different number or even another Google or Microsoft account.
If you are using Android, you can clear the app data from your phone settings, then log back in with a different account. Once you hit the daily search limit on that one, you can log out and switch again to your old account.
Using a Modded Version
As a final workaround, some people go for a modded version of Truecaller that you can find on different websites. Once installed, it usually lets you search numbers without the daily limit.
But before trying this, keep in mind that modded apps are not official. They come from outside sources, so there can be risks like privacy issues or harmful files. If you still want to try it, be careful and make sure you know what you are downloading.
