A real estate agent had their personal phone number falsely marked as spam by Apple/iMessage after a single follow-up call to an open house attendee, disrupting their primary business communication channel.
Existing spam reporting systems (Apple, Google) allow recipients to falsely mark legitimate business calls as spam with no verification or recourse for the caller, leading to irreversible damage to the caller's number reputation and blocking their primary communication channel.
Workarounds Described
- submitted a claim to Apple after number was marked as spam
- considering getting a new phone number
Implied Software Gaps
- Real-time phone number reputation monitoring and automatic dispute filing when number is falsely marked as spam
