GLEN COVE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 8, 2003

Telemarketing professionals and contact center managers need not panic in the face of the recently announced "Do Not Call" national registry. With fines of up to $11,000 per call, telemarketing organizations and teleservices companies have cause to be concerned -- however, help is readily available.

Early on, Call Compliance, Inc., of Glen Cove, New York, identified the Do Not Call trend, as well as the need for strict compliance, and developed its patented TeleBlock(R) service. TeleBlock(R) makes it easy for telemarketing firms to avoid making calls to consumers on both the new national Do Not Call list, as well as the existing 25+ state Do Not Call programs.

Today, Call Compliance offers TeleBlock(R), a proprietary and transparent service, to numerous businesses that utilize the telephone to sell goods or services in the United States through its growing strategic relations program with VeriSign and participating telephone carriers. Some of these carriers are Covista Communications, eMeritus Communications, IDS Telecom, MCI, PaeTec Communications, Qwest Communications, XO Communications and hundreds of industry resellers. Being an industry pioneer, CCI has gained attention and acknowledgement from other industry leaders, and has received multiple awards and citations, as well as mention in print and media.

Unlike various consumer products on the market that attempt to screen incoming calls from telemarketers, TeleBlock(R) screens and blocks outbound calls as they are being made by the telemarketer, automatically, before they are completed to consumers who place their phone numbers on do-not-call lists. This unique technology resides on a telephone carrier's nationwide network; therefore telemarketers can comply by simply signing up for the service with a participating carrier. Telemarketing firms can benefit by reducing their risk from non-compliance fines, while improving their consumer-friendly brand.

TeleBlock(R) takes Do Not Call compliance to a level that standard "scrubbing" techniques can not approach, assuring compliance that is 100% as effective as the underlying data in the Do Not Call lists themselves. Joseph Sanscrainte, Director of Regulatory Affairs of Call Compliance and the Editor of the noted telemarketing Regulatory Guide (www.cci.regulatoryguide.com), stated that the "Teleblock(R) service removes the guesswork from compliance with all Do Not Call laws, potentially saving the industry billions of dollars in fines, and allowing telemarketers to focus on making sales, as opposed to managing databases."

Clearly, Call Compliance offers a much-needed solution in these changing and demanding times.
