One wrong dial can cost you $500 to $1,500. Per call.

Drop in your numbers and ZipAudience verifies each one, tags it mobile or landline, and screens it against Do Not Call and TCPA litigator lists — so you reach real people legally instead of inviting a lawsuit.

The problem

The number that looks fine is the one that sinks you.

A raw phone list hides three different risks at once. Some numbers are dead or reassigned and waste your dialer. Some belong to people on the federal Do Not Call registry. And a small but dangerous slice belong to serial TCPA plaintiffs who bait calls and texts for a living. You cannot tell them apart by looking — but the penalties for guessing wrong are statutory and stack per contact.

TCPA violations run $500 per call and up to $1,500 each if willful — class actions reach seven figures.
Calling DNC-registered numbers exposes you to FTC and state enforcement on top of TCPA exposure.
Reassigned and disconnected numbers burn dialer minutes and tank your connect rate.
Texting a landline or a litigator’s line is the fastest way to a demand letter.

The market gap

Most teams either skip compliance entirely and gamble, or stitch together a validation API, a DNC subscription, and a separate litigator scrub — three vendors, three bills, three exports. ZipAudience folds verification, DNC, and TCPA screening into one pass right where you build your lists, so a safe-to-dial list is the default instead of a compliance project.

How we solve it

Validate, classify, and compliance-screen in one pass.

Our verification engine runs every number through a multi-signal check and returns a single, plain-English verdict per row — call it, text it, or leave it alone.

Number validation

Confirms the number is real, active, and correctly formatted before you waste a dial.

Line type & carrier

Tags each number mobile, landline, or VoIP so you only text lines that can receive a text.

DNC registry screen

Flags numbers on the federal Do Not Call list so you suppress them before the campaign goes out.

TCPA litigator scrub

Surfaces known TCPA plaintiffs and high-risk lines so you never bait a lawsuit.

Clean segments out

Splits your list into clear-to-contact, suppress, and high-risk files ready to use.

Single, fast pass

Validation, DNC, and TCPA all run together — no juggling three separate tools.

AI does the heavy lifting

A screened phone list is the safe foundation for everything that follows. Save it to your account and ZipAudience can profile the audience, draft compliant outreach, and route follow-ups to the channel each line actually supports — so a compliant list flows straight into a campaign instead of sitting in a spreadsheet.

Frequently asked

Does this make me fully TCPA compliant?

It removes the biggest, most automatable risks — invalid numbers, DNC-registered lines, and known litigators — before you contact anyone. You still own consent records and your own calling-time and disclosure practices; treat this as a powerful screen, not legal advice.

What’s the difference between the DNC and TCPA checks?

The DNC screen flags numbers on the federal Do Not Call registry. The TCPA screen surfaces known serial litigators and high-risk lines associated with TCPA complaints. We run both so you suppress regulated and predatory numbers in the same pass.

Can it tell mobile from landline?

Yes. Every number is classified by line type and carrier, so you only send texts to lines that can receive them and route voice to the rest.

What file formats can I upload?

CSV, TSV, and plain text. We auto-detect the phone column, normalize formatting, and ignore the rest.
