How to tell if your phone numbers are labeled as spam
If your organization has poor contact rates and lacks quality communication with customers and prospects because calls are getting sent to voicemail, checking for spam labels on your phone numbers may be beneficial.
Some of the ways you can identify whether your phone numbers are getting labeled as spam include:
Have your phones call each other and look at the caller ID
One of the easiest ways to check whether your phones are labeled as spam is to have your phones call each other and check the caller ID label.
Most numbers that are labeled as spam show up as “Spam” or “Scam Likely” which will be a dead giveaway when checking for spam labels on your phones.
Check the call history of your numbers
Another simple way to check whether your numbers are labeled as spam is to check the call history of each number. When reviewing a number’s call history, a spam label is often displayed next to the phone number in the call log.
Not only is reviewing call history and call logs helpful in checking phone numbers for spam labels but it also enables you to check how long your phone numbers have been labeled as spam.
Check voicemails or missed call notifications from your phone carrier
Carriers typically notify organizations when their calls or numbers are marked as spam. In some cases, your phone carrier may reach out to you regarding your calls and phone numbers being labeled as spam.
Because of this, it is important for your organization to check its missed calls and voicemails with your carrier for any relevant information regarding spam labels on your numbers.
Carrier apps and tools
Some carriers offer apps and tools to help identify spam calls and numbers. It is important to check with your carrier to determine whether they provide any applications or services for this purpose to see if your numbers show up as spam.
If your carrier does not provide these kinds of tools, you can use third-party apps such as Truecaller or Hiya to check whether calls made from your numbers are being blocked due to spam labeling.
Contact your carrier or check their website
Another simple way to check whether your phone numbers are being labeled as spam is to contact your carrier and ask them to provide information about your calls and whether they are marked as spam and why.
Additionally, most carriers allow you to check this from their website by logging into your account and viewing the call and messaging details to see whether your calls are being marked as spam.
