Be sure to consult your own attorney for questions specific to your business. ### **VoIP Lines must be included in your comprehensive consumer scrubbing efforts. ** **In the same way that we identify cell phones using the DMA wireless block prefix, we scrub against VoIP** for records using the prefixes that identify them.  (For example, in the phone number 561-XXX-1234, the three digit XXX prefix would identify the number to us as VoIP or not.)   - Our Opinion Accurate VoIP lists are not readily available – so you wouldn’t want to do this yourself. And some carriers continue to hide portions of their VoIP inventory. Our DNC experts have access to the top VoIP archives available today – and can easily add them to your already comprehensive DNC Scrubbing solution.
