How do I identify a non-mobile number?


Dialog Health validates all phone numbers before they are subscribed and only “opts-in” Patients who have a valid mobile phone number in the Mobile Phone or Additional Phone Field.  Once you get a valid mobile phone number added for this Patient, the Patient can be opted in. 

System Error Notification

If you try to manually opt-in a patient and get the notification below, it means that the number you have in your scheduling system is a landline. Please obtain a valid mobile number before trying to opt the patient again.


Unknown Carrier 

You can also identify a landline by opening up the Patient Record. If you see "Unknown" to the right of the mobile number, the means that the number is not a known mobile carrier.
