How to Prevent Your Phone Number from Being Flagged as Spam

Summary: This article addresses whether your phone number may show up as spam to the recipients you call and provides steps to mitigate this issue.

Understanding Spam Flags on Phone Numbers

When making calls, your phone number can potentially be flagged as spam by carriers. This usually occurs due to a high volume of outbound calls or if your number is not properly verified.

Steps to Ensure Your Calls Are Not Flagged as Spam

  1. Register for Verified Calling and Texting:

    • Ensure that you have registered your Business Profile for Verified Calling and Texting. This registration helps verify your calls and prevents them from being filtered out by carriers.
    • To check your registration, navigate to the "Phone Number" menu option in your account settings.
  2. Check Registration Status:

    • In the "Register for Verified Texting & Calling" section, confirm that all four checkmarks indicating successful registration are green. This status indicates that your number is properly verified.
  3. Consider Changing Your Number:

    • If your phone number continues to show up as spam despite following the above steps, you may want to consider releasing your current number and selecting a new one. This can help resolve persistent issues with call filtering.

Conclusion

To prevent your phone number from being flagged as spam, ensure that your Business Profile is registered and verified. If problems persist, changing your number may be a viable solution. Following these steps can help ensure that your calls reach their intended recipients without being marked as spam.
