Following FCC (Federal Communications Commission) rules and authority, companies providing voice services block and label calls that are illegal or unwanted. They do this on their own and also work with analytics engine partners. Both the service providers and analytics engine partners think it's essential to create better ways to address problems related to call blocking and labeling, which is why they usually offer a way to remediate and redress this blocking and labeling. 

In case one of your dedicated phone numbers has been flagged as spam-likely or similar, you can take these remediation steps in order to unflag them. Below you will find information on how to address the flagged numbers in each of the most common carriers in the US.

T-Mobile serves many people across the United States with its telephony service. Their system automatically checks calls for suspicious behavior, but sometimes it may mistakenly label valid numbers, like those from legitimate businesses, as "Scam Likely" or "Spam Likely". This happens because the system is automated and may not always get it right.

To remediate with T-Mobile, go to this page. Complete the form, selecting that calls are "Not a Scam Likely Call", as well as mentioning that the caller is a business or organization with prior contact.

Then continue to filling out the call details (with the phone number that is flagged). This process will need to be repeated for each flagged number, as T-Mobile will only allow one number per form submission.

You should get a reply from T-Mobile within 72 hours.
