Remediate 'Spam Likely' on your Caller ID using Free Caller Registry

Modified on Sun, 13 Oct at 5:00 PM

In this article, we will learn how we can increase our call answer rates by remediating 'spam likely' / 'potential spam' / 'scam likely' on the caller ID in the US (US only).

If the phone number flagged as 'spam likely' is relatively new or not critical to your business or has a FTC complaint, we recommend trashing the phone number and getting a new one. It's faster, easier, and more convenient for you compared to remediating the 'spam likely' tag.

If the phone number flagged as 'spam likely' is important to you and you can't replace it with a new one, we recommend registering on Free Caller Registry.


What is Free Caller Registry?
Carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon use analytics engines to generate and maintain spam scores for caller IDs. These three carriers have different analytics engines. All three analytics engines partnered to create Free Caller Registry, where you can submit a single request and all of them will reconsider the 'spam likely' tag on your caller ID.
