A ringing phone is often the sign of a prospective customer, but that\u2019s not always the case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At times, you may get swarmed with spam calls\u2014the last thing any agent would want to encounter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, spam calls are more common than you\u2019d imagine. According to TechCrunch, spam calls witnessed an\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2020\/12\/07\/spam-calls-grew-18-this-year-despite-the-global-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">18% growth in 2020<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0despite the global pandemic. You can well imagine the chances of getting them on your<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>virtual phone number<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, thereby disrupting an agent\u2019s work and productivity. It makes sense to have a preventive strategy in place so that agents can focus on genuine prospects and stay on top of their tasks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, some easy measures can help you keep your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/virtual-phone-number-for-business\/\">business\u00a0virtual assistants<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0spam-free. Even if you cannot prevent spammers altogether, it is still possible to curb them and let your agents focus on critical work. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s explore how:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Dealing with Spam Calls on your Virtual Phone Number\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A spam call refers to any type of unwanted call that your system receives. While they may seem insignificant at first, they can build up to become a real nuisance or even harmful. Your agents will end up attending to them for a good part of the day and struggle to deal with the stress they add on. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the tactics you can implement to keep them at bay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Consider Using an Auto-attendant\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first line of defense against solicitation bots is an <\/span>auto-attendant<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The best approach is to look for\u00a0<\/span>virtual number services<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0that bundle up this feature within their offerings. When your auto-attendant receives a spam call, it will automatically disconnect since the bot won\u2019t be able to navigate the call menu. Therefore, your agents don\u2019t have to inconvenience themselves with such callers and can rely on the system to filter them out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to understand the key differences between a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/contact-center-vs-call-center\/\">call center vs contact center<\/a> and how they impact your customer service strategy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><b>Leverage DNC Registry<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An obvious way to steer away from spam calls is by leveraging the \u2018Do Not Call\u2019 list. You simply need to register with the NDNC, and voila\u2014there won\u2019t be calls from pesky solicitors and telemarketers disturbing your agents anymore. While the DNC registry may not completely stop the calls, it can reduce them to a minimum. Alternatively, you can use a service like \u2018Do Not Disturb\u2019, which will stop the notifications for incoming calls from specific numbers. You only have to add the unwanted numbers to the list once and you\u2019re all set.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Block Spam Numbers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While using the \u2018Do Not Disturb\u2019 feature has you covered to a considerable extent, blocking spam numbers takes you a step ahead and safeguards your phone system entirely. Just block suspicious numbers when you first come in contact with them, and your system takes care of the rest. Alternatively, you may have to invest time go through the call history and manually block each number from where you got unwanted calls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This step may take some effort, but it is a full-proof damage control measure that even an<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/omnichannel-contact-center-guide\/\"> omnichannel contact center platform<\/a> can support effectively.<\/p>\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full\" dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-6\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto py-5 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @[37rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @[72rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:32rem] @[34rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @[64rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto flex max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 text-base gap-4 md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"relative flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"22bba97f-4a70-4c8f-89bf-43cd0b8831f4\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\">\n<h3 data-start=\"107\" data-end=\"678\"><b>Switch Numbers if Possible<\/b><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"107\" data-end=\"678\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps the most effective measure to eliminate the possibility of spam to your\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">virtual number<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is by getting a new number. But this isn\u2019t feasible for businesses that have established phone numbers in use, since this would alienate or confuse their long-standing customers. You cannot risk losing prospects and existing customers just because they don\u2019t recall your new contact. However<\/span>, switching phone numbers may be a viable option for new businesses or businesses with numbers that haven\u2019t been in use for pretty long. In such cases, implementing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/hosted-contact-center\/\">hosted contact center solution<\/a> can help manage communications more efficiently while the transition is made.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<h3><b>Contact your Virtual Number Provider<\/b><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A more drastic measure to deal with spam calls is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/what-is-a-virtual-phone-number\/\">to connect with your virtual number provider<\/a> and escalate the issue. This can act as a last resort if you have tried everything else but are still struggling with a growing number of unwanted calls. Your provider can help you block calls from specific numbers that you do not want to connect with. Besides blocking specific phone numbers, you can even blacklist calls from specific area codes, which give you broader protection against spamming.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Go the Extra Mile with Tracking<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making conscious efforts to safeguard your business phone number against spam calls is worthwhile, with many benefits in store. You can go the extra mile by integrating call tracking with spam control measures. Beyond enhancing agents\u2019 productivity, it can also protect your call tracking data from being skewed. It is easy to fall prey to advertising companies that guarantee a specific number of calls or leads by collaborating with them. However, you\u2019ll often end up getting fake calls that can mess up your data. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/ivr-use-cases\/\">Utilizing a call tracking feature<\/a> lets you understand the actual performance of the ads as well as identify spam calls and provide insights on quality leads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spam calls on your virtual phone number can be a real pain in the neck, so it is vital to deal with them with stringent measures. The best approach is to collaborate with a virtual number provider that can help you handle the issue with the right features and add-on assistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acefone is a name you can trust as it offers dependable services and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/features\/\">high-end features<\/a>, including call blocking and blacklisting.
