Yes. We store timestamped records of every scrub so you can show compliance if a complaint ever comes up.
State DNC
10 states maintain their own Do Not Call lists: Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming. Every other state relies on the National DNC Registry.
Yes. State lists are separate registries with their own registered numbers and their own penalties. National DNC scrubbing does not cover them, so calling into those states needs a state scrub too.
Either. Pick a single state, a group, or run all 10 in one pass, through the web interface or the API.
Litigator Scrubbing
Checking your list against a database of known TCPA litigators and serial plaintiffs, and removing them before you call.
A DNC scrub removes registered numbers. A litigator scrub removes known plaintiffs, many of whom keep their numbers off the registry on purpose. They catch different numbers, so most callers run both.
Documented serial plaintiffs, frequent TCPA filers, and the attorneys who bring these cases, compiled from court and complaint records.
$500 per call for a negligent violation and up to $1,500 per call for a willful one, before legal fees. Class actions run much higher.
Mobile & Landline
Checking each number on your list to identify whether it is a mobile, landline, or VoIP line, so you know what you are dialing before you call.
Under the TCPA, automated and prerecorded calls and texts to wireless numbers need prior express consent. Knowing which numbers are mobile lets you route or hold them correctly.
No. Number portability means a number's prefix no longer reveals its line type. A former landline can now be a cell. Only current carrier data is reliable.
We flag VoIP separately, since they can behave differently from both traditional mobile and landline numbers.
Compliance & Penalties
Federally, the FTC and FCC. At the state level, state Attorneys General, who often open an investigation after a single complaint. Consumers can also sue directly under the TCPA.
It lets consumers sue telemarketers directly for $500 per call or text, rising to $1,500 for a willful or knowing violation. These claims are often filed as class actions.
Separate from the national and state lists, you must keep your own list and honor any consumer's opt-out request immediately, then not call them again.
Business-to-business calls are generally exempt from the federal DNC rules, but some state laws and other TCPA provisions can still apply. Confirm before relying on the exemption.
