# Verifying Your Business for Calls & Texts

-
-
-

Once [phone calls are activated](/learn/activating-phone-calls/), verifying your business helps ensure your phone calls and text messages successfully reach your clients without being blocked or marked as spam by phone carriers.

If your business is located in the U.S., we recommend verifying your business if you do any of the following through Mangomint:

- Make phone calls.

- Send text messages, whether they are [manual](/learn/sending-and-receiving-text-messages/) or [automated](/learn/help-articles/automated-messages/) (including [non-marketing flow text messages](/learn/flow-message-types/)).

Because of widespread issues surrounding spam and robocalls, if your business calls or sends texts to U.S. phone numbers, phone carriers require specific information about your business so they can verify your business is legitimate.

Once phone carriers verify your business, your calls and texts will successfully reach your clients without being blocked or flagged as spam.

If your business is **unverified:**

- Calls you make through Mangomint may be labeled as spam by phone carriers. The client will see on their phone that the call is likely spam, causing them to not answer.

- Texts you send to clients through Mangomint, including booking confirmations and appointment reminders, may not be delivered. Unverified businesses who send any text messages to U.S. numbers can be blocked from doing so by phone carriers.

- You will **not **be able to [transfer (port) your phone number](/learn/transferring-your-phone-number-to-mangomint/) from another carrier to Mangomint if needed.

If your business is **verified:**

- You can make calls that reliably show up on the client’s phone as coming from a legitimate business, helping to ensure clients answer your calls.

- You can send texts to clients as needed and ensure they are successfully delivered, including booking confirmations and appointment reminders.

- You will build trust with phone carriers over time, helping to protect your deliverability and ensure your calls and texts always go through.

- You **will **be able to [transfer (port) your phone number](/learn/transferring-your-phone-number-to-mangomint/) from another carrier to Mangomint if needed.
