Phone Is Disposable

Automatically flag burner and disposable phone numbers

Overview

Clean Dial's Phone Is Disposable property is a boolean (checkbox) field that automatically flags numbers belonging to temporary, "burner," or disposable phone services. These numbers are often used for spam, fraud, or low-intent signups. Identifying them allows you to protect your sales pipeline and focus on high-quality leads.

How It Works

When contacts pass through a Clean Dial HLR Lookup workflow action or bulk HLR lookup process, the system automatically:
    Analyzes the number's carrier and line type data
    Checks against known databases of disposable number providers
    Sets the phone_is_disposable property to true or false

Property Values

Description
True
The number is confirmed to be from a disposable/temporary service.

Use Cases

  • Fraud Prevention: Block or flag signups using disposable numbers to prevent trial abuse and bot accounts.
  • Lead Scoring: Downgrade the lead score of contacts using burner numbers, as they typically show lower intent.
  • Sales Efficiency: Filter disposable numbers out of high-priority call queues to save SDR time.
