Numbers listed as spam by Hiya

LOL, no. One does medical billing, the other does customer surveys. In both cases, the call recipients have an established business relationship and "deserve" the calls. A lot of people just don't want calls period, which I get also. There also appears to be some point where the marking is automatic based on volume and short call duration.

Not sure if that was meant tongue in cheek, but the issue is far more complicated. Or maybe you have a different definition of spam. We have customers making legit business calls that still get marked as spam/scam, because there's no validation of the reports.
If the recipients of your customers' legit business calls consistently mark them as spam to the point where the numbers wind up on blocklists, and your customers need to routinely rotate their outbound numbers in order to continue to deliver their message, indeed it sounds like there is indeed a substantial difference of opinion as to the definition of spam.
Are any of your customers perhaps in the automobile warranty business?

This just started affecting a tiny law office that does no outbound marketing, and no unsolicited calls. Purely engagement calls. And suddenly they just reported that this week their calls are being marked as spam possible. This is getting really stupid. And yes I do know for sure they don't make improper calls. In fact the call volume is a few dozen a day.

That feels so much like a mafia extortion plan. Pay us to not screw you over. That said, any opinions on the effectiveness of the two recommended registries here? Has someone paid the extortion and seen a benefit? On Wed, Aug 24, 2022 at 5:58 PM Calvin Ellison <calvin.ellison at voxox.com> wrote:

Seriously. How are we even supposed to know about these registries, if not for this list? What makes them in any sense official? Nothing? Who put them in charge? Are there more registries? Do you have to pay the extortion for both registries to be sure? If not for the fact that it?s an expedient business decision, I think everyone here should refuse to comply in principle.

Hello, regarding the mafia like approach, this sounds like its just another arcane business process which you need to: a) spend time and effort to learn it by yourself, or b) pay some expensive consultants to translate and/or explain this topics to you This is fairly common for other processes e.g. related to taxes, business audits or similar. Nevertheless its of course ridiculous. For the particular topic, I am happy that here in the EU we are doing it a bit differently by more regulation, one could argue also a bit more effective.
