Why the time of the call matters
A prospect reached at the wrong moment doesn’t pick up, or picks up in a hurry. Calling at 8 a.m. on a Monday, over lunch or after 7 p.m. drags down your connect rate, and every missed attempt costs prospecting time.
On an international list the problem grows: 9 a.m. in New York is 6 a.m. in Los Angeles and 3 p.m. in Paris. The tool works out each number’s local time, daylight saving included, and brings it back to yours, so you know who to call now and who to keep for tonight.
Legal calling hours, country by country
In the US, the TCPA bars telephone solicitations before 8 a.m. and after 9 p.m., in the called party’s local time; some states set stricter hours. In Canada, the CRTC limits telemarketing to 9 a.m.–9:30 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m.–6 p.m. on weekends. In France, calls to consumers are allowed Monday to Friday, 10 a.m.–1 p.m. and 2 p.m.–8 p.m.
These rules mostly cover calls to consumers. The tool applies them as a precaution, because a business mobile can also be a personal one. Elsewhere it sticks to business hours. Every rule shown carries its source and the date it was checked.
How the tool finds a number’s time zone
Each number is first converted to E.164, then its prefix is matched against the time zone table published with libphonenumber, Google’s numbering library. It goes down to the area code in the US, Canada or Australia: a 212 is in New York, a 310 in Los Angeles.
When a prefix spans several time zones, the tool doesn’t guess: it shows “uncertain time zone” and a range of hours. The suggested slot is allowed in every possible zone, never at night in any of them, and ideal in the country’s most populated one. Remote territories (Cocos Islands, Canaries…) are left out: only zones holding more than 5% of the population count.
What the tool does not do
- It does not identify who owns a number: it is not a reverse phone lookup.
- It gives neither the carrier nor number porting: that is what number enrichment in Skipcall is for.
- A mobile’s prefix tells where the line was opened, not where the person is: a mobile’s time zone stays an estimate.
- Public holidays are not taken into account.
- No number leaves your browser: everything runs on your computer, and the tool works offline once the page has loaded.
