<p>The solution is that you sign your calls with your certificate. Carriers aren't doing LNP dips to verify the number is really yours, they're trusting your attestation (A: yes, the caller id is verified, B: it comes from our customer, but not verified, C:
"this touched our switches, good luck with it"). If you attest total nonsense as A, or send tons of nonsense in general, people start blocking calls you sign.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It really verifies who is sending the call, and what that company says the call is verified, not a full chain of custody of the number back to the NANPA/PA. Could you attest A a call from "0" or "911", or "999-999-9999"? Yes, you could. It'd work for a while,
til someone said "Wow, Alex's SPID is signing tons of bullshit. Let's block attested calls from his SPID"</p>

<div>LCR or no LCR, using a termination vendor that is different to one’s origination vendor for a given CID is more normal than not in VoIP. I would guess it’s the default wholesale use-case. Origination and termination are very different business models with
radically different economics.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m not clear on what the official STIR/SHAKEN solution to this is. I assume it’s delegated certificates as Jared suggested.<br>

<div dir="ltr">If I understand correctly, no as long as your providers are all supporting this. What I think you mean is that you get origination/DIDs from say Bandwidth, and you use LCR to route calls to whoever is cheapest? There are ways to work with that
challenge as long as your carriers are ready to do so.</div>

There is a STIR-SHAKEN process of registering and testing with the Policy<br>
Administrator (PA) as a certified Service Provider (SP) before you can<br>
purchase SHAKEN token certificates from a Certificate Authority (CA) and<br>
begin to engage in using the technology. This is not a walk in the park.<br>
Transnexus is one of two public CA's in the U.S. today. They are experts on<br>
the subject and can help you through both processes. In order to get the<br>
best call attestation you must prove to the PA and CA that you are a bono<br>
fide service provider and not a bad-acting enterprise on a network that<br>
deserves lesser attestation levels. <br>
<br>
One of the registration requirements is a SP 's access to valid national<br>
phone number pools. This has been very confusing for some resale providers<br>
that purchase and use numbers from wholesalers only. If your organization<br>
does not have it's own numbering resources, you can register using your<br>
wholesale provider's numbering pool data. Don't assume you have to register<br>
with the FCC and possess your own pool of numbers to become a registered<br>
SHAKEN SP.<br>
<br>
SHAKEN ROBO call mitigation is a new frontier, and obtaining the best<br>
attestation level possible for a SP is essential to the SP and the SHAKEN<br>
ecosystem. Register and test for the best attestation level possible.<br>
Transnexus is a seasoned expert on the subject and a U.S. registered CA with<br>
the PA. <br>

I'm a Carrier Consultant who's been helping CLEC, IXC, Paging, Wireless and<br>
VOIP carriers install and maintain their PSTN networks for the the last 20<br>
years. I can help clients get their FCC Certification to become a<br>
STIR/SHAKEN carrier as well as Numbering Resources, NPAC / LSR training, etc<br>
(if you need those pieces). Once my clients get their certification, I refer<br>
them to TransNexus. Jim and his team can help you with the process of<br>
turning your STIR/SHAKEN services up.<br>
