What does one-time use mean? Can I use the list again to follow up by mail or phone calls?
One-time use means that the list you've purchased can be used only once for a mailing or a telemarketing campaign. You cannot use the list to follow up by phone after the mailing. Note that lists are seeded to detect unauthorized use.

I am using the list only for telemarketing. Can I call the same number twice if I don’t make contact the first time?

The list may only be used for the particular campaign for which it was purchased. You may call only until you make an initial contact.


Can I order a list for two-time use?
This option is currently not available on the online order system. Please call your MDR Representative at 800-333-8802 for information about purchasing a list for two-time use.

I have just purchased a list. Are phone numbers automatically included?
