DNCSolution™ Handles
Wireless Number Portability Compliance
ATLANTA, GA – May 19, 2004 – PossibleNOW, the leading
provider of Do Not Contact compliance solutions to direct marketers,
announces a comprehensive solution to the Wireless Number Portability
issue. This newly expanded service lets direct marketers ensure compliance
with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act that prohibits direct marketers
using automated or predictive dialers from placing unsolicited sales
calls to wireless numbers or pagers.
Wireless Number Portability lets consumers keep their phone numbers
when switching between one wireless service provider and another,
or between a local landline telephone company and a wireless provider.
While this portability makes it possible for consumers to switch service
providers without having to contemplate the impact of changing their
telephone numbers, it means that a landline phone number can be ported
to a wireless number, thus becoming a prohibited number, even if it
is not on any Do Not Call list..
PossibleNOW’s new service is part of the Premium Services Filter
bundle in DNCSolution. The Premium Services bundle includes access
to the Wireless Block Identifier from the DMA and the Canadian Marketing
Associations Telephone Preference Service database. This new service
lets subscribers “scrub” calling lists against the wireless
block identifier list and remove those numbers.
To offer its customers the most complete and comprehensive compliance
services, and to simplify wireless number portability compliance,
PossibleNOW has signed a reseller agreement with NeuStar, the company
in charge of local number portability for the US. PossibleNOW will
resell the wireless number portability data to its customers at a
discounted rate.
For more information, please call PossibleNOW at (800)
585-4888 or (770) 255-1020.
