Has someone reported that your phone number appears as "Scam Likely" (or "Suspected Spam Caller", "Suspected Spam", etc.) when they receive your calls?

In rare cases, a recipient’s carrier might mislabel your number due to increasing spam prevention measures. Here’s how to avoid this issue:

  1. Register your Number

    Register your business number with the FCC and verify it with the Free Caller Registry[HT1] to confirm your legitimacy. This information is shared with major U.S. carriers, including T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular, and AT&T.

  2. Stay Compliant

    Adhere to all applicable laws, regulations, and policies, including DialLink’s Terms of Service.

  3. Be Consistent with Your Calling Behavior

    Even registered numbers can be flagged if call patterns show a sudden spike or if spam or fraud complaints are filed.
