What Is the Do Not Call (DNC) Registry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A DNC scrubber checks outbound call lists against Do Not Call registries and suppression files, flagging or removing numbers that cannot legally be contacted. For any organization making telemarketing calls, this process is a regulatory requirement. The FTC’s Telemarketing Sales Rule<\/a> (TSR) mandates scrubbing against the National Do Not Call Registry at least every 31 days. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act<\/a> (TCPA) imposes additional requirements around consent, autodialer use, and prerecorded messages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 258 million active phone numbers<\/a> on the National Do Not Call Registry, a significant portion of any consumer call list will include numbers that must be suppressed. DNC compliance software<\/a> like DNCSolution\u00ae handles this process automatically, matching every number against the relevant federal, state, and internal data sources and delivering a callable list that satisfies regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
