Voice Providers To Use Stir/Shaken Tech To Stop Robocalls

Share post:

After the June 30 deadline set by the FCC, major voice service providers in the United States will roll out Stir/Shaken technology to end illegal robocalls that fraudsters use to defraud billions of dollars from Americans every year.

Stir/Shaken technology ensures that calls that go through telephone networks have a “signed” call identity that is confirmed by the original providers and validated by other providers before the calls reach users.
