🌟 Why Is My CallHippo Number Showing as “Suspected Spam”?

If your CallHippo number appears as “Suspected Spam”, don’t worry — this is common for all VoIP providers, not just CallHippo. The good news? It’s temporary and can be fixed with a few simple steps.

🔍 Why Does This Happen?

Modern phones and apps aggressively block unknown numbers to protect users. Because VoIP numbers are new or unregistered, they often get flagged automatically.

Here’s who flags them:

• 📱 Mobile manufacturers (Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus)
  
  

• 🏢 Telecom providers (AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone)
  
  

• 🔎 Third-party apps like Truecaller
  
  

• 🔁 Call patterns (short/repeated calls, high volumes, inconsistent caller ID)
  
  

➡ ️ Truecaller recently started marking all unregistered numbers as “Suspected Spam” by default — even legitimate business numbers.

➡️ Recycled numbers may also carry previous reputation history.

✅ How to Fix the “Suspected Spam” Tag

1️⃣ Register Your US Number in the FCC Free Caller Registry

(For US numbers only)
 This helps carriers recognize your number as legitimate.

3️⃣ Ask Clients & Your Team to Save Your Number

When more people save your number under your business name, spam labels decrease significantly — especially on Truecaller.

4️⃣ Follow Smart Calling Habits

• Avoid rapid, repeated calls
  
  

• Keep a consistent caller ID
  
  

• Maintain normal call volume
  
  

• Use a professional voicemail greeting
  
  

5️⃣ Use CallHippo Tools That Boost Reputation

CallHippo gives you extra protection that most providers don’t:

• 🔄 Auto Rotate – Rotates outgoing numbers to prevent spam-flagging
  
  

• 🛡 Spam Watch – Alerts you in real time if any number gets flagged
  
  

Search “Auto Rotate” or “Spam Watch” in the Help Center to learn more.

❓ Quick FAQs

Why is my new number flagged?
 Because analytics systems mark unfamiliar VoIP numbers as a precaution — very common and temporary.

Do promotional or frequent sales calls cause this?
 Yes, high call frequency or short-duration calls can trigger spam filters.

We registered our number but it still shows spam. Why?
 Updates may take time. Continue following best practices and using CallHippo's tools.

Online checks show my number is clean, but clients still see spam.
 Apps like Truecaller use crowd-sourced data, so some users may still see flags temporarily.
