Why Number Reputation Monitoring Matters

Calls are increasingly scrutinized and flagged by carriers' analytics algorithms to protect consumers from fraud and robocalls.

Unfortunately, this often leads to legitimate business calls being flagged as Likely Sales, Spam, Scam Likely, or Fraud Risk.

Number Reputation Management addresses this challenge by:

  • Preventing mislabeling of your calls

  • Monitoring and managing your outbound number reputation

  • Improving call answer rates and brand trust

  • Providing guidance from industry leaders about regulatory standards and best calling practices

Reduced Efficiency of Old Anti-Spam Techniques

As carrier networks and call analytics systems have grown more sophisticated, previous workarounds to avoid spam labeling are no longer reliable.

In many cases, these tactics can actually trigger more aggressive filtering rather than prevent it.

Constantly Replacing Numbers is no longer the standard

Previously, businesses would rotate or "burn" numbers once they were flagged and use fresh numbers to connect to their customers.

While this is a lingering common practice, rotating number is becoming an obsolete way to avoid spam flags.

  • Carrier analytics detect high churn in number use as suspicious behavior and can make them more likely to apply spam tags

  • Rotating numbers can trigger faster flagging of new numbers

  • It erodes brand recognition and creates inconsistency in caller identity

Carriers see this as a sign of spam-like behaviour and may flag numbers as spam if they do not have any call history. For example, fresh numbers with a low "maturity rating" are more likely to be flagged as spam with Hiya (AT&T's analytic provider).

Free Caller Name Submissions (e.g., Free Caller Registry, Hiya)

Free registration services like Free Caller Registry or Hiya are a Band-Aid solution for high volume call centers.

These are great steps for first level protection of your numbers, but this method is insufficient on its own for high-volume outbound calling:

Type of Protection

What They Do

Level 1 - Basic Protection: Free Caller Registry, Hiya, etc.

Only provide initial notification to carriers of company name + their numbers

  • These services are static registries: they do not actively prevent or remediate against spam flagging over time.

  • These submissions don’t guarantee number approval or spam-free status overtime

  • Carrier analytics engines consider behavioural data over static registry entries

  • Hiya's free portal only shows results of flagging with their partners and not all USA operators

Level 2 - Advanced Prevention and Monitoring: Number Reputation Management, Numeracle

Monitoring and prevention tools:

  • create a comprehensive profile of your business directly with the USA operators (T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T)

  • regularly scan to show when a number has been flagged for spam across multiple carriers and databases

  • automatically submits numbers for remediation when they are flagged as spam
