Business Number Registration 101

Reaching customers by phone is more challenging than ever for businesses. Between mislabeling, spoofing, and aggressive spam filtering, many legitimate organizations struggle to get their calls answered. A large percentage of consumers now ignore unknown numbers entirely, costing companies opportunities, damaging customer relationships, and impacting revenue.

If outbound calls are part of your business strategy, you can’t afford to leave things to chance. Registering your business numbers with First Orion is one of the first steps in to mitigate mislabeling of your numbers.

What is Business Number Registration?

Business Number Registration is the process of submitting your company’s information and outbound calling numbers so that major carriers can vet and verify them. Once registered, your calls are more likely to display accurately and less likely to be mislabeled as spam.

How Do Your Register?

The registration process takes five minutes or less, and First Orion walks you through each step in the customer portal. In most cases, confirmation is received within minutes.

Registration + Call Best Practices = Better Results

Improving call outcomes takes more than just registering your business number. It also requires following proven outbound calling best practices.

While registration legitimizes phone numbers and helps carriers verify identity, pairing it with consistent, respectful call practices (like maintaining proper call frequency, leaving voicemails, and avoiding rapid redials) ensures calls aren’t flagged as nuisance or spam.

Together, business number registration and good call habits build trust with both carriers and customers, increasing the likelihood that calls are answered.
