Spam labels

## Help keep “Spam Likely” off your calls.

A call marked “Spam Likely” goes unanswered, even when it’s the quote they asked for. We set up your number as a real business line with the phone carriers to help keep those labels away.

If a label ever shows up on your calls, call us. A real person will work on it with you.

Texting registration

## Carrier paperwork for texting, done with you.

Carriers require every business to register before it texts customers from a local number. GBPN walks you through a short form, and AI can fill in the hard parts from your website. You can edit everything before you submit.

You see where your registration is at every step. Calling works the whole time. [More about texting](https://gbpn.com/business-texting)

Texting registration

Carriers only deliver texts from registered numbers. Calling works without it.

-   Brand approval Usually minutes, up to a week. Approved
-   Identity Usually 1–3 business days. Approved
-   Campaign Typically 1–2 weeks. In review

Trust both ways

## Customers trust your calls. You can trust theirs.

### Your number, not your cell

Calls and texts from GBPN always show your business number. Your personal cell stays private.

### Spam screening for incoming calls

Screen callers against a national spam database before they ring you. Ask, and we turn it on for you.

### Know it’s business first

Business calls ask you to press 1 before they connect, so you answer with your business name every time.

## Caller ID questions

Will customers see my business name when I call?

We register your business name for caller ID, so many customers see it when you call. Some carriers and phones only show numbers, and then they see your business number, never your personal cell.

Will my calls show up as “Spam Likely”?

We set up your number as a real business line with the phone carriers to help keep spam labels off your calls. If a label ever shows up, call us and we’ll work on it with you.

Will customers ever see my personal number?

No. When you call or text from GBPN, customers see your business number.

Why do I need to register to text?

US carriers require every business to register before it texts from a local number, so customers get fewer spam texts. GBPN walks you through a short form, and AI can write the description from your website. Approval usually takes one to two weeks, and calling works right away.
