How To Check If a Number Is on the Do Not Call List 

Contact centers often place calls to potential or existing customers. However, if these customers have registered their number with the U.S. National Do Not Call Registry and have not opted-in to having the business contact them, it is illegal to call them. Contact centers must verify that numbers are not on the list.  

 

How to Check if a Number Is on the Do Not Call List 

There are several ways to check if a number is on the Do Not Call (DNC) Registry:  

  • Manually check a number by visiting the official National Do Not Call Registry website 

  • Utilize a bulk scrubbing service to scrub large contact lists 

  • Deploy compliance software that automatically includes DNC checks 

  • Use APIs to integrate modern contact center software with the DNC database 

  • Maintain contact center databases by checking numbers against the DNC list
