CCI Launches Online "Do Not Promote" System for Telemarketers

Call Compliance.com, Inc., Glen Cove, NY, announced the first suite of software solutions that allow telemarketers to automatically block phone and fax numbers of individuals and businesses on "do-not-call" lists.

Teleblock, the first product to be developed and marketed by CCI, is an automated blocking service that enables telemarketing companies to have phone calls blocked to all individuals and businesses listed on a telemarketer's proprietary "do-not-call" list, CCI's in-house list and third-party lists provided by states and other sources.

To get the Teleblock service, companies sign-up with a long distance carrier who has a connection agreement with CCI. Subscribing companies then use on-line capabilities to select prospect lists. The system's Internet capabilities allow satellite call centers to block do-not-promote numbers.

For consumers and other end-users, CCI has introduced Telestop, a subscription service that allows individuals and businesses to add their telephone numbers to CCI's "do-not-call" database of telephone, modem and fax number. Individuals sign up at the company's Web site, or by calling the CCI Hotline (888-674-6774), and are automatically included in CCI's "do not call" list.
