On occasion, you may notice your outbound calls are appearing with labels such as, "Spam Likely", "Robo call", or "Scam likely" to prospective leads. We understand this can be frustrating and can result in your outbound calls going unanswered or getting blocked.
To help eliminate "Spam Likely" labels on your numbers, we recommend registering your tracking numbers using Free Caller Registry.
Getting started
The Free Caller Registry (FCR) allows entities making legitimate outbound phone calls to submit their data to the three call management services providers that support the major U.S. wireless carriers.
This process is only available for U.S. phone numbers. If you have international numbers, we recommend contacting the carrier marking your outbound calls as spam to request changes to your outbound caller ID.
If you have questions about this process, please reach out to our Support team for assistance.

Follow the steps below to register your numbers on Free Caller Registry.

FAQs
Will registering my numbers fix mislabeled calls?
Number registration often fixes mislabeling, but it is not a guarantee against mislabeled calls in the future. Registered numbers can still be flagged or mislabeled. To avoid getting your numbers mislabeled or flagged, we recommend:
- Remaining consistent in your calling behavior by keeping track of unusual spikes in traffic volumes.
- Ensuring that you have complied with all relevant TCPA laws, FCC regulations, and CallRail's Terms of Use.
Should I register the numbers I just purchased?
Yes, we recommend registering any number you recently purchased. Nuisance labels are not automatically removed from a number after the previous owner releases it.
