Spam labels
Why does my business number show up as "Scam Likely" or "Spam Risk"?
Carriers and call-blocking apps use analytics engines that score every number based on calling patterns and consumer complaints. A spike in outbound calls, short call durations, a few spam reports, or a number's prior history can all trigger a label.
Legitimate businesses are flagged every day, usually without knowing it.
How do I know if my number is flagged?
Usually you don't. The label appears on the recipient's phone, not yours. NumberGuard monitors the major spam databases and places live test calls to AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon devices, so you see exactly what your customers see.
Can my number be flagged on one carrier but not another?
Yes. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon each rely on different analytics providers, and each provider scores numbers independently. A number can be clean on one carrier and labeled on another, which is why we monitor all three.
Monitoring and coverage
Why do you test on both iPhone and Android?
Because the same number can be labeled differently depending on the device. iPhones and Android phones receive and display caller ID information differently, and many Android phones add their own built-in spam detection.
For example, a number might show a spam warning on a Verizon iPhone while displaying normally on a Verizon Android, and the reverse might be true on AT&T. Testing only one type of device leaves blind spots, so we test both on every carrier.
Which carriers and devices do you monitor?
We place live test calls on AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon using both iPhone and Android devices on each carrier, six combinations in total. We also monitor the spam databases those carriers rely on.
My number is not flagged today. Why do I need protection?
Spam labels appear without warning, often after a high-volume calling day or a handful of complaints, and they are not visible on your own phone. Continuous monitoring means you learn about a label in days rather than months, and remediation is already included when it happens.
Do I need to change phone providers?
No. NumberGuard works with any phone provider and requires no changes to your phone system.
Remediation
What happens when NumberGuard finds a flag?
You receive an immediate email alert and our remediation team opens a case. We file with each provider that labeled your number, follow through until the label is removed, and verify the result with a follow-up scan. You can track progress in your dashboard.
Is remediation an additional cost?
No. Spam label remediation is included in every plan. Pro customers receive priority handling with a 4-business-hour response time.
Plans and billing
Can I add more phone numbers later?
Yes. Additional numbers are $10/month each on either plan and can be added from your dashboard at any time.
What is the difference between annual and monthly billing?
Annual billing is $49/month for Small Business and $99/month for Pro, billed once a year. Month-to-month pricing is $54 and $109.
Do you offer plans for larger organizations?
Yes. Enterprise starts at $399/month for 25 numbers, with step-up pricing at 50 and 100 numbers and custom pricing beyond 250. It adds on-demand scans, priority numbers, CNAM registration, new-number pre-checks, a quarterly calling health review, 1-hour priority remediation, unlimited locations and users, and API access.

Yes. We offer co-branded, white-label, and distributor programs for MSPs, ITSPs, integrators, and phone providers. Partners earn a healthy recurring margin on every client and set their own prices. See the partner program for details.
Protect your number before it costs you calls.
Most businesses never learn their numbers are flagged. They only see answer rates decline. Enroll online today, and our team handles the rest.
