As a call center manager, you probably don't give them much thought. Maybe an existing vendor is helping identify and archive your cells as required by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Maybe you're not identifying them at all. But take a closer look. Cell scrubbing can be an opportunity to take advantage of critical call prohibition safeguards.  [Read More \[fa icon="long-arrow-right"\]](https://www.donotcallprotection.com/blog/cell-scrubbing-compliance-solution-secrets-call-centers) [![](https://www.donotcallprotection.com/hubfs/Images/blog_images/bigstock-More-Then-Way-To-Skin-A-Cat-90560759.jpg)](https://www.donotcallprotection.com/blog/two-very-different-dnc/tcpa-call-solutions-number-scrubbing-vs-ringless-voicemail) ## [Two very different DNC/TCPA call solutions: Number Scrubbing vs Ringless Voicemail.](https://www.donotcallprotection.com/blog/two-very-different-dnc/tcpa-call-solutions-number-scrubbing-vs-ringless-voicemail) \[fa icon="calendar'\] Mar 20, 2018 7:30:00 AM / by [Bob Traylor](https://www.donotcallprotection.com/blog/author/bob-traylor) posted in [Call Center/Dialer Compliance](https://www.donotcallprotection.com/blog/topic/call-center-dialer-compliance) [\[fa icon="comment"\] 1 Comment](https://www.donotcallprotection.com/blog/two-very-different-dnc/tcpa-call-solutions-number-scrubbing-vs-ringless-voicemail#comments-listing) If your call center is going down the Ringless Voicemail path, the theory is your cell calls fall outside the TCPA. The consumer doesn't pay for the call. The call never touches the wireless system. And voicemail is separately regulated as an Enhanced Information System not covered by the TCPA. If you're making standard phone calls, however, you'll need to look at cell scrubbing, DNC list registrations and reassigned number scrubbing for permission-based calls. And don't forget the calling method: Hand Dialing vs Automatic Telephone Dialing Systems.

Where the heck do you get that information anyway. Closest we can come are bank fraud detection systems based on direct to carrier relationships. But a national phone list - available to all marketers, much like the National DNC Registry today - that's new. And a no-brainer.

As a result, phone marketers can't tell when their ANI's get replaced by the dreaded message - cutting down on successful call completions. Wouldn't it be nice to know your intended caller ID was actually being delivered - thus increasing successful events? Well, now you can. Read on.

Downloading the National and State Lists. Finding and archiving pesky cell phones on your own. Keeping track of internal Do-Not-Call lists honoring requests not to be contacted anymore. But there's one thing you can't do on your own: Create a list of individuals most likely to sue your business under these call prohibition laws. The people that have sued before under the TCPA are the most likely to do it again. And you'll probably never see it coming.

Now, solicitors call consumers and merely hang up - hoping the prospect will call back on local caller ID. Claiming the consumer called *them*, "Ya, that's it. They called me your Honor. My call was never completed."

As a marketer reaching out to consumers and other businesses, is Litigator Scrub a must have? - Or should it be relegated to the back burner. After all, Litigator Scrub is not a legal requirement under the TCPA, right? So how does identifying these previous court filers compare in importance to other call compliance solutions?

Calling "in response to your request for information" - a lie. Threatening with bold officer-like fundraising voices from scam police associations. On the flip side, Avatars remain one of the most effective technologies for phone solicitors. Too bad the telemarketing industry has overstepped reasonable marketing boundaries once again - leading to [robocall express written consent classification of the technology](http://blog.wwpa.com/post/is-the-use-of-the-avatar-technology-in-the-u-s-illegal-robocalls.aspx), severely restricting legal use.
