Set up trusted calling
Your business phone numbers may appear as spam when calling a new prospect reducing the chance they will answer the phone. Set up trusted calling in order to prevent numbers being labeled as spam. This can be done immediately after getting business phone numbers or at a later time.
Note
Setting up trusted calling is only relevant for companies based in the USA.
Setting up trusted calling for your company includes creating a business profile to provide the details necessary for registering your business phone numbers as trusted numbers. Then you activate the SHAKIN/STIR protocols which adds a digital certificate to your phone numbers so that you can be identified by the service provider. You can also set up voice integrity which registers your number with the service provider.
To set up trusted calling:
-
If you have just chosen your business numbers you can set up your business profile after confirming the numbers.
