Number Intelligence: Block Spam Calls and Identify Unknown Callers

Q: How does Spam Detection work?

Spam Detection uses algorithms to flag suspected spam calls from unknown U.S. numbers. Depending on your settings, these calls can be labeled as spam and may be blocked or deprioritized.

Q: Can I opt out of Number Intelligence?

Yes. You can disable Number Intelligence (or individual components, if available) under Account Settings → Phone Numbers → Advanced Settings.

Q: Does this work internationally?

Spam Detection typically applies to U.S. numbers only. Name Lookup and Number Validation may support international numbers depending on availability.

Q: Are there additional charges?

Yes. Usage charges may apply for Number Intelligence features. Review your account settings for the latest pricing and billing details.

Automatically reduce spam interruptions, identify unknown callers, and validate SMS numbers before you send—so your team stays focused on real conversations.

Overview

Number Intelligence (sometimes referenced alongside Number Validation) is designed to help you: reduce spam calls, identify unknown callers, and validate phone numbers so your calling and messaging stays clean and productive.

What it includes: typically a combination of Spam Detection, Name Lookup, and Number Validation (SMS capability/format checks).

Key Features

Block or flag spam calls: Helps identify suspicious inbound calls (often U.S.-focused).
Identify unknown callers: Adds caller name data when available to reduce “unknown” calls.
Validate numbers before SMS: Checks SMS capability/validity to avoid wasting sends.
Cleaner workflows: Use validation signals to trigger tagging, tasks, or alternate outreach.

Set Up Number Intelligence

Go to Account Settings → Phone Numbers → Advanced Settings.
Find Number Intelligence (or related controls like Number Validation) and toggle it On.
If available, choose which components you want enabled (for example: Spam Detection vs Name Lookup).
Save your changes.

Billing note: Number Intelligence features may have usage-based charges. Review your billing/usage settings so you understand what triggers a lookup or spam-detection event.

Web & Mobile App Compatibility

Web App: Typically supports spam labels, name lookup, and validation indicators.
Mobile App: Often supports name lookup/validation; spam detection behavior can vary by release.

Tip: If you rely heavily on mobile inbound, confirm which indicators show on mobile so your team handles unknown callers consistently.

Call Handling with Spam Detection

Spam-labeled calls may appear as Spam Likely in call screens and logs.
Use caller name (when available) to personalize greetings and reduce “Who is this?” friction.
For repeat spam patterns, consider adding internal handling rules (tags/tasks) for review.

Example Use Case: Sales Team Efficiency

If your team is getting interrupted by unknown/spam calls, Number Intelligence can reduce noise by flagging suspicious callers, surfacing caller names where possible, and preventing SMS sends to invalid or incapable numbers—so reps spend more time on real leads.

Opt-Out Options

If you don’t want the feature (or you want to limit charges), you can disable it at any time.

Go to Account Settings → Phone Numbers → Advanced Settings.
Toggle off Number Intelligence (or toggle off the specific component if options are separated).
Save.

Stop spam and keep your lists clean

Turn on Number Intelligence to reduce spam interruptions and validate numbers before you send SMS.
