Combating robocalls and phone privacy have continued to become priorities with the FCC. With approximately 4 billion of these calls sent to consumers every month, the problem has become a serious issue for all of us.

As the FCC’s post describes, voice providers are now required to take some actions in cooperating with these tactics:

“The FCC requires voice service providers to file certifications in the FCC’s new Robocall Mitigation Database to inform the agency of their STIR/SHAKEN implementation status and, in some cases, their robocall mitigation efforts.”

As an authorized provider of STIR/SHAKEN digital certificates, Prescott-Martini is helping providers accomplish this vital FCC objective. Below, we’ve provided crucial information for you to know and understand the core tenets of Stir-Shaken and how it works in enhancing phone privacy and combating robocalls.

Basics of STIR/SHAKEN Explained

1. Call originators first send a destination number through to Prescott-Martini to be analyzed using the STIR/SHAKEN
   method. This is sent as a MySQL data query.
2. Prescott-Martini receives the MySQL query and adds a verified caller-ID from the automatic number identification system. If needed, you can also use a preestablished ANI to be ported to our competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC).
3. Prescott-Martini creates a service provider signature certificate. This is produced using STIR/SHAKEN's national administration service. It is accepted by all the significant U.S. telephone carriers.
4. MySQL data is then returned to you to be inserted into the session initiation protocol (SIP). Prescott-Martini's API allows you to simplify this process by adding, deleting, and editing any ANIs that may be present in your account.
5. Finally, the destination for the recipient of the call can see the secured number transferred through the system in their caller ID system.

While Prescott-Martini’s phone privacy sequence provides complex STIR/SHAKEN security, the experience from caller to recipient is seamless. This allows normal communication to proceed as normal with this added component to keep everyone within a system protected.
