One robocall blocklist, three jobs on your network

Terminating

Block before it rings

Load the robocall blocklist on the switch or SBC and block or label reported numbers there. The check reads a local file, so call setup never waits on a remote lookup.

Originating

Find the customer first

Match outbound CDRs against the list every hour. A customer who sends traffic from reported numbers shows up in your own report, so you can act before a traceback request names your network.

Existing checks

Beside DNO and STIR/SHAKEN

A reasonable DNO list covers invalid, unallocated, unused and inbound-only numbers. This list holds numbers that do call and get reported. STIR/SHAKEN tells you who signed a call, not what people report about it.

Every number comes with a reason

A bare robocall blocklist is hard to defend. Each entry carries a report subject and a timestamp, across 195 countries. Consumer complaints also carry the state and a robocall flag. The rest come from scam calls our honeypot lines answer, calls that Falcon installs reject, and numbers tied to an active campaign. When a caller disputes a block, you show the record.

Falcon, our open-source robocall mitigation software, loads the same list as a hard block, and the robocall score rates them.

One flat fee, not a bill per dip

No per-dip fees. A file you host costs the same on one switch or ten, and blocking continues if our API is unreachable.

Cost at carrier volume Grows with every call One flat fee
Call setup Waits on a remote dip Reads a local file
Outbound screening Another dip per call Same file
