In this article we explain how to best utilize our Phone Status feature.

What Are Phone Statuses?

Phone statuses allow you to track which phone numbers are Correct, Wrong, No Answer, DNC or Dead. Knowing the status of the phone number helps you to quickly follow up with leads, since you’ll know which phone number is correct and saves you time so you don’t continue to call and attempt to market to wrong and dead numbers.

Phone statuses are located within a record next to the phone numbers. The icons indicate if a phone number has Correct, Wrong, No Answer, DNC, or Dead status.

For DNC, you can update as Correct DNC, Wrong DNC, or Unknown Owner DNC.

Correct DNC should be used if the person you are speaking with confirms they are the owner and requests not to be contacted. This will update the phone status to both Correct and DNC.

Wrong DNC should be used if the person you are speaking with states they are not the owner and requests not to be contacted. This will update the phone status to both Wrong and DNC.

Unknown Owner DNC should be used if the person you are speaking with does not confirm if they are the owner or if it is a wrong number. This will update the phone status to DNC only.

How to Update Phone Statuses

Phone Statuses can be updated manually from within a record, on upload, or through our integrations.
