Number Showing Up as SPAM
Why would my number be Flagged as SPAM?
There could be several reasons why your business phone number is flagged as spam by certain providers. Here are some common factors that might contribute to this issue:
- Volume of Calls/Texts: If your business engages in high-volume calling or texting, it may trigger spam filters. Providers often use algorithms to detect patterns associated with spam, and a sudden surge in activity from a particular number may be flagged.
- Frequency and Consistency: If you consistently send a large number of messages or make calls within a short time frame, it could be perceived as spam. Legitimate businesses typically have more predictable and controlled communication patterns.
- User Feedback: If users mark your number as spam or consistently ignore your messages, it can influence spam filters. Some providers rely on user feedback to identify and block potential spam.
- Shared Numbers: If your business phone number was previously used by a spammer or is shared with multiple businesses, it might have been flagged based on the history associated with that number.
- Verification and Registration: Some providers use verification processes to ensure the legitimacy of phone numbers. If your number is not properly registered or verified, it might be treated as spam.
