TPS and CTPS compliance doesn’t just apply to telemarketing companies. Any business making outbound calls – whether sales, follow-ups, renewals, surveys or customer contact – has a responsibility to ensure they are calling numbers legally.
For many years, Selectabase has helped UK businesses stay compliant by providing simple, reliable TPS and CTPS checking that puts full control in the hands of the user.
No delays. No uncertainty. No reliance on third parties.
Why TPS and CTPS Compliance Matters for All Outbound Calling
If a telephone number is registered on the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) or Corporate Telephone Preference Service (CTPS), it must not be called for unsolicited marketing purposes.
Failing to check numbers properly can result in:
- Complaints to the ICO
- Investigations and enforcement action
- Financial penalties
- Reputational damage
This applies to any organisation making outbound calls, not just call centres or agencies. Even a small number of non-compliant calls can cause serious issues.
One-Off or Ongoing Checking – You Choose
Selectabase supports both occasional and regular outbound calling activity.
Businesses use our TPS and CTPS checking for:
- One-off campaigns
- Daily or weekly calling lists
- Internal sales teams
- Agencies calling on behalf of clients
- Ongoing customer contact activity
You can check exactly what you need, when you need it – without long-term commitments if they’re not required.
One of the most popular features is our web-based TPS and CTPS checker, designed for speed and simplicity.
Users can:
- Paste in a single telephone number
- Copy and paste multiple numbers at once
- Instantly submit for checking
There’s no setup, no waiting and no technical complexity. It’s ideal for checking ad-hoc numbers before making a call, or quickly validating small batches.

Results are returned instantly on screen.
You can immediately see:
- Whether a number is TPS registered
- Whether it is CTPS registered
- Which numbers are safe to call
- Which should be excluded
There’s no delay and no need to wait for files to be processed. You remain fully in control of your data and your calling activity at all times.
Fully GDPR Compliant by Design
Everything Selectabase does is naturally and fully GDPR compliant.
This includes:
- Secure handling of telephone data
- Data used strictly for the purpose of compliance checking
- Clear audit trails
- No unnecessary data retention
This gives businesses confidence that they are not only compliant with TPS and CTPS rules, but also with wider data protection obligations.
Reducing Risk Across Your Business
By checking numbers properly before calling, businesses protect:
- Their brand reputation
- Their clients and customers
- Their staff and internal teams
- Their long-term ability to operate
It also makes it far easier to demonstrate compliance if questions are ever raised.
