Important SpoofCard Update

SpoofCard Blog • January 24, 2022

 

We have a big update that’s important for you to read.


We appreciate your time in advance and ask that you read our update through to the end. We hope it will answer any questions you may have, but if not, our support team is standing by!


For the last 16 years, we have been committed to protecting your privacy and giving you ways to call and text while protecting your personal information. To ensure your calls connect and are processed properly by phone carriers, we have some exciting updates that will change the way our service is offered. We are committed to protecting your privacy and will still offer the same excellent service as before.


Here's What's Changing:


With new carrier regulations, service providers like ours are required to verify ownership of the phone number used for caller ID. These regulations are being put in place to protect consumers and ensure a high level of security and trust with caller ID. We completely respect and align in this effort. We can accomplish this while also continuing to maintain your privacy on calls and texts. We’ll continue giving you the ability to display a secondary number of your choosing. However, you’ll need to choose this number from a list of numbers we will provide. If you have used our texting service, this is very similar to how that works.


Why Is This Changing?


Nearly everyone has received calls that their carrier has labeled “Spam” or “Scam Likely.” You’ve probably even answered a few and found that your carrier mislabeled your doctor or children’s school. To ensure your calls connect and that phone carriers do not label your calls wrongly, we must adjust the way calls are processed. By using numbers we offer as your caller ID, carriers will not only process your calls, but you also won’t need to worry about them being labeled as “Spam” or “Scam Likely.” Your calls will connect seamlessly with this improved setup, and you won’t have to worry about the carrier mislabeling your calls. Win-win!


How Will This Work?


As of February 1, when placing calls, you will need to select the number you wish to display from a drop-down menu of numbers we offer. Your personal number will never be displayed and will always be protected. We’ll be offering a comprehensive list of US and Canadian numbers to choose from. We’ll also be adding Mexican numbers (coming soon).


What If I Need To Call From a Specific Number?


We’re glad you asked! We realize sometimes you need to call from a specific number when you’re traveling or don’t have access to your local phone line. We’re building a way for you to verify numbers you own so that you can use them as your caller ID as well. The benefit of this is you’ll be able to take your phone numbers with you wherever you go!


Imagine you’ve left your work phone at the office and only have your personal cell phone with you. If you’ve verified your work number on the SpoofCard app, you’ll be able to use your work number as your caller ID when you place calls from the app, whether you’re home, traveling, or just don’t want to carry two phones with you! Our development team is currently working on this feature, and we anticipate it should be available on our iOS and Android apps within the next few weeks. 


We’ve all experienced a lot of change these last few years and our goal is to always be a product you can trust and rely on. These updates will ensure you have the best experience possible and will continue to give you the privacy and protection you need.


Have Thoughts?


We'd love to hear from you! We don't rest until you're happy, so please don't hesitate to drop us a line at Support@SpoofCard.com. You're the reason we love what we do, and we value your continued feedback.

When you’re running a small business, side hustle, or freelance gig, every detail matters—from branding and customer service to how you communicate. One detail often overlooked? Phone privacy. Sharing your personal number for business can blur boundaries, invite spam, and make it harder to unplug. That’s where SpoofCard comes in, giving small businesses and freelancers the tools to stay professional and protected. Why Privacy Matters for Entrepreneurs Unlike large companies with call centers and dedicated lines, small business owners often juggle everything from their personal phone. That can lead to missed opportunities or, worse, unwanted intrusions into personal life. By separating business and personal communication, you gain: Professionalism: Present a polished, consistent contact number to customers. Control: Decide who reaches you, when, and on which line. Peace of Mind: Protect your personal number from exposure, spam, or misuse. Multiple Caller IDs = Multiple Hats As a freelancer or small shop owner, you wear a lot of hats. With SpoofCard’s multiple caller ID options, you can match your number to the situation. For example: Use one number for client calls so you’re always polished and professional. Keep another for marketplace sales or seasonal gigs. Retain your personal number for family and friends . Switching between numbers with SpoofCard is seamless, allowing your business to look bigger while your personal life stays private. The Web App: Your Business Command Center For professionals who live on their laptops, SpoofCard’s web app is a game-changer.

We’ve all been there, hovering over the call button, knowing a conversation needs to happen but dreading the awkwardness that comes with it. That’s where SpoofCard’s Straight to Voicemail feature steps in. You can deliver your message directly to their voicemail instead of ringing someone’s phone and risking an unprepared or uncomfortable exchange. No interruptions. No pressure. Just clear communication on your terms. When Straight-to-Voicemail Saves the Day 1. Breaking Bad News (Gracefully) Not every update is easy to share. Whether you’re canceling plans, announcing a delay, or letting someone know about a decision they won’t love, voicemail gives you space to be thoughtful without the tension of an immediate reaction. 2. Dodging Persistent Relatives (With Love) We all have them—the family members who mean well but turn a quick check-in into an hour-long saga. With Straight to Voicemail, you can leave a kind message while keeping your evening intact. It’s the balance between staying connected and setting boundaries. 3. Professional Outreach (On Your Terms) Job seekers, freelancers, and entrepreneurs often need to contact potential clients or employers. Leaving a professional voicemail can make a strong impression, but sometimes you don’t want the uncertainty of catching someone live. Straight to Voicemail ensures you say precisely what you mean, without nerves derailing the delivery. 4. Avoiding the Awkward “Talk” From ending a situationship to declining a commitment, some conversations are easier to record than to hash out in real time. Straight to Voicemail helps you skip the stumbles and keep things respectful.  Why It Works At its core, Straight to Voicemail gives you control. You decide the timing, tone, and content of the message, and the recipient can listen when they’re ready. It’s communication without confrontation—perfect for moments when live calls feel like too much.

The change of seasons always brings a chance to reset, and autumn is a season of transition. Kids head back to school, routines shift, and new projects start. But as you swap out summer sandals for cozy boots and refresh your wardrobe with warm layers, remember that fall is the perfect time to reevaluate your digital habits. One of the easiest ways to protect your privacy and give yourself a fresh start this season? A new phone number with SpoofCard. Where a Fresh Number Makes Sense 1. Online Marketplaces Fall is a prime time to sell items from your summer clean-out or browse for seasonal deals for your own home.

Seasonal Gigs & Side Hustles Plenty of short-term opportunities pop up this time of year, from tutoring to fall festivals.

Dating Apps Whether you’re diving back into the dating scene or simply want to protect your privacy while getting to know someone, SpoofCard gives you control. Share a temporary number instead of your personal one to decide who stays in your life. SpoofCard Puts You in Control Your phone number is often the key to your identity, and SpoofCard ensures you stay in charge of who has access to it. With features like number masking, Straight to Voicemail, and voice-changing options, you can communicate confidently and privately, no matter the season. This fall, reset more than your wardrobe.
