On September 9, Rahman put out a tweet, mentioning what he said were some of the features of Clear Calling. Rahman wrote that the service works for most mobile networks but not Wi-Fi calling, adding that content from the calls is not sent to Google.

Also, to give a first look, he manually enabled Clear Calling's settings.
