[VoiceOps] spam scoring services?

2024-01-17 Thread Brooks Bridges via VoiceOps
Anyone have any recommendations for a spam scoring service API that's reasonably priced and relatively comprehensive?  I know there are several, but I'm curious what others like. ___ VoiceOps mailing list VoiceOps@voiceops.org

It's likely being done as a way to track searches.  I was involved in a company (that shall remain unnamed) that did something very similar.  They provision a DID that's forwarded to the "real" number, and display that in the search results so they can track that a search resulted in a call.

Seconded.  If you are not a customer, most of the "big guys" won't even acknowledge your existence.  I've *occasionally* made some headway with reaching out to their porting contacts and very nicely asking them to pass the info to the translations team, but that's a very uncommon occurrence.

Just a point of note, Sprint does not, and never did, own O1 Communications.  The O1 and TPx (telepacific) split happened almost a decade before Siris acquired TPx.  O1 is its own privately held entity. On 10/23/2021 3:21 PM, Peter Beckman wrote: Sprint  -> O1 Communications, US

I would posit that outpulsing a specific ANI with authorization of, and at the request of, the number's owner doesn't really fall under the colloquial understanding of "spoofing".  I think that term is typically used to imply malice or deceit. On 2/16/2021 8:44 AM, Carlos Alvarez wrote: But

Make sure you're fully disabling the ALG on those Fortigates. I got bit by that one time when I discovered (after many emails with support) that there are 2 places you have to shut off the SIP ALG before it's actually disabled, and the documentation only mentioned one of them. Brooks Bridges
