The RND provides three possible responses:
“Yes” means that the Safe Harbor does not apply because the telephone number queried has been permanently disconnected on or after the date of consent. A “Yes” means the queried number is contained in the database and the date the Caller provides in the query is the same as or before the permanent disconnect date for that number in the RND. (i.e., the number has been permanently disconnected during the time period). Example: 8505551301 was disconnected 2/11/2021. If Caller queried with 1/11/2021, result will be “yes”
“No” means that Safe Harbor may apply because the telephone number queried has not been permanently disconnected since consent was provided or if the number was not permanently disconnected and the date of consent is on or after January 27, 2021. A “No” means the queried number is contained in the database and the date the Caller provides in the query is after the permanent disconnect date contained in the database, or if the number is not in the database and the date the Caller provides is on or after January 27, 2021, the date all providers were required to maintain records of the most recent date each number was permanently disconnected. (i.e., the number has not been permanently disconnected during the time period).
Example: 9105551301 was disconnected 2/11/2021. If Caller queried with 7/11/2021, result will be “no”
“No Data” means that No Safe Harbor applies because the telephone number was not permanently disconnected and the date of consent was prior to January 27, 2021. A “No Data” means the queried number and a permanent disconnect date are not contained in the database and the date provided in the query is before January 27, 2021, the date all providers are required to maintain records of the most recent date each number was permanently disconnected numbers to the RND (i.e., the database does not contain either the date or number data queried by the Caller).
Example: 2075551301 – TN has not been disconnected. If Caller queried with 12/30/20, result will be “no_data”
