[VoiceOps] STIR/SHAKEN Deadline June 30th

[Mary Lou Carey]

Hey all! Just a quick reminder regarding the June 30th Deadline for 
STIR/SHAKEN compliance.

First of all, if you've completed the process of getting your 
certificate and signing calls, don't forget to do the final step which 
is updating the status of your Robocall Mitigation Plan. I just looked 
today and there are still lots of companies listed as partial or No 
STIR/SHAKEN implementation.

Also note, even if you have signed an agreement with an underlying 
carrier to sign your calls for you, you still need YOUR OWN 
TOKEN/certificate! I've been told by multiple phone companies that they 
didn't think they had to do anything for this deadline because they 
signed an agreement with their underlying carrier who told them they 
would take care of everything. That is NOT true! Only carriers that have 
a direct connection with their end-user customers can sign calls with an 
"A" or "B" classification. If someone is signing your calls for you, 
they can only do so with a "C" classification and that doesn't help you 
at all.

If you have not completed STIR/SHAKEN, please for your own sake and the 
sake of your customers get the process started. I would at least 
recommend that you at the very least register with the STI-PA by this 
Friday at the link below.

If you need help or have any questions, feel free to call.
