How to Take Down Your Number From an Unsafe Caller Site

The number of unsafe calls has constantly been on the rise, with many people losing money. To protect mobile users from the increasing number of unsafe phone calls, carriers and third parties developed tools that flag suspicious numbers. You would have to remove your number from the list of unsafe callers to comfortably call your intended user. DoNotPay enables you to remove your number from the list of unsafe callers easily. We can also take down your personal information from MyLife, Facebook, Whitepages, and Spokeo.

Why Am I Marked as an Unsafe Caller?

Factors leading to your number being flagged as unsafe are evolving and vary by carrier or third parties. However, the most common reasons you could be marked as an unsafe caller include:

1. An insanely high amount of phone calls from your number
2. Short-duration calls, usually under five seconds
3. Ignored calls that have been sent to voice mail
4. Conversations lasting less than 15 seconds
5. Recipients flagging as spam

Your number is marked as an unsafe caller if you are into the habit of cold calling potential customers with the hope of generating leads for your business. Carriers do this in adherence to the rules of Federal Communications that protect the public from getting scammed. Therefore, they may wrongly mark you as unsafe if they deem your calling habits as suspicious. Carriers have built-in systems to monitor call activities. Therefore, if they determine that a single number is making ten phone calls a minute or over 100 calls a day or has exceeded a certain threshold in a week, the carrier automatically determines that it is not human dialing and may classify the number as a robocall.

Consumers who you have called may also block your number before answering your call, and a high number of blocks can trigger the carrier to mark your number as unsafe. Call blocking apps meant to protect users from fraudulent calls may also unknowingly tag you as a spam number due to your high volume of calls. These apps have algorithms that vary depending on user responses. Therefore, if you have to call patterns similar to those of spammers, it is likely the reason your number has been marked as unsafe. Hence, it is important to find a way to remove your number from an unsafe caller site by hiring someone to do it for you like DoNotpay.
