<div dir="ltr">Derek, <div><br></div><div>Is actually right. Legislation that blocks a company from auto dialing a number based on it being a cell phone or landline is extremely difficult to prosecute. Straight talk has a home service that essentially uses a wireless carrier backbone. I can pickup the base plug it in at my neighbors house or better yet put it in my car on a power inverter and wah lah my home phone is what it truly is a cell phone with a 110-220v power supply. Number Portability would make wireline and wireless number location nearly impossible. Manual dialing would be the only way to prevent an auto dialer issue. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Erik Flournoy<div>808-426-4527<br>301-218-7325<div><br></div><div><span>CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE<br>This e-mail message, including any attachments from EESPRO.com - contain information which is CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR LEGALLY PRIVILEGED.

<div>Depending on your switch you should be able to build a profile for the customer and reject calls going to cell phone LRN providers. </div>

Personally, I wouldn’t take on the liability of guaranteeing their auto-dialer only calls landlines. You would end up being sued if you make a mistake. IMHO, let them manually dial or find a list scrubbing company that actually works.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I have a customer in market research who is legally required to manually dial calls to cell phones. Right now they are considering abandoning all of their auto/predictive dialer software and going to manual dial for everything, because
the list-scrubbing services have been shown to be inaccurate. There are extreme penalties for auto-dialing a cell phone, and "best effort" is NOT a defense to this, at all. For example, Gallup just settle a claim for $12M.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So they need a totally accurate way to prevent a cell phone call from originating from their dialer. The only thing I can think of is some sort of LRN dip + LRN-to-carrier-type response. One of their people talked to Neustar, but didn't get
great answers because he doesn't really understand telephony. Before I get in touch with Neustar, I thought I'd see if people here have some ideas.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you provide a commercial product for this, please feel free to tell me so on or off list, the customer is willing to pay for the service and we're open to all options. I don't have a budget number yet but manual dialing is going to cost them
quite a bit for some types of studies.</div>
