The platform is technology-agnostic and can assist with non-IP call frameworks as well. Registrants can use a web-based GUI or restful API to register their telephone numbers.

Prior to registering, ensure you have the full list of all the telephone numbers you want to register. Once you sign in to your account, you can use the Graphical User Interface (GU) I to register your telephone numbers. They must all be 10 digit numbers and can be uploaded using a txt file.

Yes, on the Registered Caller platform, you can request that your Voice Service Provider uploads your telephone numbers. However, to ensure all your telephone numbers are registered, we recommend that you register your telephone numbers through the Registered Caller platform and request that your Voice Service Provider(s) verify and confirm that such telephone numbers are associated with your enterprise.

All sources of voice calls and telephone numbers can be registered in Registered Caller for the same enterprise thereby providing a full view of voice traffic associated with the registered telephone numbers.

You can upload telephone numbers via the user interface or through the Registrant API.

As part of the process, you are asked to first add your telephone numbers and indicate which Voice Service Provider manages those telephone numbers. Once the telephone numbers are registered a request is made to Voice Service Provider(s) for verification.

Delegate certificates are used so that voice service providers have a method to establish a business’ right to use a telephone number when the telephone company did not assign that number to a particular business itself.

This matters because the originating service provider needs to attest to all calls. In order for an originating service provider to provide an “A” Attestation or fully attest a call through the network, they need to be confident in both the originator of that call and confident that the consumer or business using that telephone number, has the right to the use that telephone number. This happens in situations where a business is using a call center to make outbound voice calls on their behalf or when a business procures a telephone number from a service provider other than the one originating the call.

Yes, Registered Caller works with the Delegate Certificate model. Extending the SHAKEN credential system to include Delegate Certificate enables calls to be signed by, or on behalf of, originating businesses so the telephone numbers and business entities they represent can be recognized as legitimate.

Registered Caller serves as the front-end and common, industry-sponsored, registry for enterprises and the numbers they use for Caller ID. Registered Caller benefits customers that either outsource the signing of calls (i.e., signing of PASSPorTs) or sign calls themselves. In the Delegate Certificate model, originating service providers sending calls signed with a Delegate Certificate can use Registered Caller to help ensure that terminating voice provider trusts that the calling party (Caller ID) information in that certificate has been verified.

Yes, Registered Caller works with toll-free numbers. Extending the SHAKEN authentication system to include toll-free numbers enables legitimate outbound calls from toll-free numbers to receive and be presented to the caller as verified. We envision that many RespOrgs, which are the companies that manage toll-free numbers, will utilize Registered Caller to enable the highest level of attestation for those calls.
