Validate your Caller IDs (CIDs) to ensure they appear safe to your contacts to increase your answer ratio.
Introduction
The Voiso Caller ID (CID) risk check feature analyzes information to verify your Caller ID numbers are not included in any SPAM databases. If a Caller ID number is flagged, contacts are less likely to answer your calls.
The Voiso Caller ID Risk Check feature enables you to validate your Caller IDs manually or automatically, using scheduled reports.
To use the Caller ID Risk Check feature, from the Voiso navigation bar, navigate to Outbound > Caller ID Risk Check. The Caller ID Risk Check page has different tabs you can use to run various risk checks and review risk check reports and history:
| Tab | Description |
|---|---|
| Caller ID Groups | Lists your Caller ID groups. Select one or more Caller ID groups to manually check the numbers for the selected groups or schedule an automatic report. |
| Default Caller IDs | Lists Caller IDs assigned to individual users. Multiple users may share the same Caller ID. Select one or more Caller IDs to manually check the numbers for the selected users or schedule an automatic report. |
| Dialer campaigns | Lists outbound Dialer campaigns and the number of Caller IDs assigned to each. Select one or more Dialer campaigns to manually check the numbers for the selected campaigns or schedule an automatic report. |
| Scheduled reports | Lists all the scheduled reports you have created. Click a report name to manage the report settings. |
| History | Lists all the manual and scheduled checks you have run or are actively running. Select a row to determine whether all the numbers are clean or require attention. |

The History tab (1) in the Caller ID Risk Check page contains a table that lists all the Caller ID validation check reports that you have run for Caller ID groups, Default Caller IDs, and Dialer campaigns.

If the check is complete, the number of Caller IDs flagged for attention over the total number of checked Caller IDs is displayed. For example, 1/6 means that 1 Caller ID is flagged for attention of the 6 Caller IDs checked.

Attention
Numbers that are flagged for attention are those are reported to SPAM databases as being suspicious. They might be flagged with a category such as SPAM, Telemarketing, Fraud, and so on. Some telecoms or contacts might reject flagged numbers.
Clean
Clean numbers are those that are not flagged. Contacts are more likely to answer a call from a number that is safe than one that is flagged.
