What is the Do Not Call List?

On September 1, 2003, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) put online a national list of consumers' phone numbers who wished to not be called by telemarketers. Starting October 1, 2003, the FTC, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and local agencies began to enforce compliance with the list. The provision mandates that no telemarketer may call a phone number on the list, with exception to political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors, or companies with which a consumer has an existing business relationship. Violations can be costly: up to $11,000 per violation! The Do Not Call List Registry Check can help prevent such expensive violations from occurring.

Read our Frequently Asked Questions About The Do Not Call List section to learn more about the Do Not Call List. Additional information is available at the Federal Trade Commission's DNC site.

Who is Do Not Call List Registry Check Designed For?

This product is designed for any business that makes solicits over the phone (also known as "cold calling" and "warm calling". When ever an associate makes a call to someone on the Do Not Call List (bar those who are current customers [last 18 months]), they are causing your business to break the law. Violating the Do Not Call law can results in fines of up to $11,000 per violation.

The most obvious type of business to benefit from this product is the telemarketing firm. However, other any business that solicits over the phone should protect them self, as they are potentially putting themselves at risk. Some types of businesses that can benefit are:

Real Estate
Mortgage and Loan
Auto body shops, repair shops, auto glass shops, etc
Cable / Satellite Service Providers
Internet Service Providers (ISP)
Chimney, Plumbing, Electrical Service

The above list is by no means conclusive. If your business markets over the telephone then you need to be aware of the Do Not Call List and you need to adjust your company’s marketing processes and policies to help prevent violations. Do Not Call List Registry Check can play a major role in those changes.

In the year since the anti-telemarketing registry was officially launched, more than 62 million telephone numbers have been posted to the list, according to the Federal Trade Commission....428,000 complaints had been filed against more than 130,000 companies said to have made telemarketing calls to numbers on the do-not-call list. About 200 companies are repeat offenders with 100 or more complaints each.

Convenience

Using the Do Not Call List Registry Check is quick and easy. Just tell the application where the lists are and you're done. Anyone who has manually searched for phone numbers on the Do Not Call List knows how frustrating it can be; it contains millions upon millions of numbers spanning multiple lists. Now it’s as easy as pressing one button!

Do Not Call List Registry Check can cross reference your company’s internal Do Not Call list as well as Federal and State Do Not Call Lists. All of this is transparent to you; the application scans all Do Not Call lists at the same time and simply lets you know if a phone number is on any Do Not Call List.

Ease of use

Much care was taken during the development phase of this project to make this application as easy as use as possible. After all, time is money. We've automated just about everything. All you have to provide are the Do Not Call list(s), telephone numbers to be searched, and any worksheet(s) you may want scanned for Do Not Call numbers. The program takes care of the rest by telling you who you can call and who you cannot call.

Small unobtrusive size

Whether your company makes hundreds of calls or only a couple of calls per day, one thing is for sure; you don't want yet another program distracting you while talking to your customer. Fortunately Do Not Call List Registry Check is very small; it fits on top of the standard toolbar for most applications such as spreadsheets, word processors, etc. That means you can simply dock the Do Not Call List Registry Check on top of another application's toolbar, allowing you to keep 100% screen real estate for that application. Furthermore, you can (optionally) have the DNC Registry Check window always on top. What this means is that you won't have to constantly switch between windows; keeping you less distracted while you talk to your customer.

Flexibility, Speed and Power

Do Not Call List Registry Check is extremely flexible; it allows you to search Federal, State and company Do Not Call lists all at the same time. The application allows you to search for phone numbers one at a time or in bulk via the scrub feature.

The scrubbing function of the Do Not Call List Registry Check is powerful and flexible. The application can scan Comma Separated Values (CSV) files, Excel spreadsheets (XLS), Excel 2007 spreadsheets (XLSX) and Microsoft Access database (MDB) files. The Scrub tool can handles files that store phone numbers in any form (e.g. 123-456-7890, (123) 456-7890, etc). It handles phone numbers that have an area code in a separate column. The application even allows you to specify a default area code for phone numbers that do not have one specified. This feature is only available in the Full Edition.

Scrub statistics

Do Not Call List Registry Check may be the fastest all-round application in its class. Most competing software packages are slow in both importing FTC files and in scrubbing. Some are relatively fast in one of these aspects, but not both. Do Not Call List Registry Check can do import large FTC files quickly and scrub large contact lists quickly.
