Abstract: A device receives call information associated with a call from a first user device to a second user device, where the first user device is associated with a first network, and the second user device is associated with a second network separate from the first network. The call information includes a caller identification and is received via an originating network device of the first network. The device determines whether the caller identification is verified, and adds authentication information to the call information when the caller identification is verified. The device receives the call information and the authentication information from a terminating network device of the first network, and removes the authentication information from the call information. The device adds a cryptographic signature to the call information, and causes the call information and the cryptographic signature to be provided to the second network for routing to the second user device.

Abstract: A device receives, from a server device, a request to determine whether a call is authorized to be forwarded, where the call is intended to be established between the server device and a first client device via a network, and the call is forwarded from the first client device to a second client device. The device receives, from the network, network data associated with the call and account data associated with a first user of the first client device. The device determines that the call is forwarded based on the network data, and processes the account data and information indicating that the call is forwarded, with a machine learning model, to determine a score indicating whether the call is authorized to be forwarded. The device provides the score to the server device to cause the server device to perform one or more actions.

Abstract: A device may receive, from a network device, call information associated with a call. The call may be from a calling party device. The call may appear to be intended for a destination device. The call information may be received, from the network device, based on the network device having routed the call. The device may determine, based on the call information, that the call appears to have been forwarded to a called party device that is different from the destination device. The device may determine, based on the call information, a forwarding characteristic for the call. The device may determine that the forwarding characteristic satisfies a criterion. The device may send an output message based on the forwarding characteristic satisfying the criterion to support responding to call forwarding activity that has the forwarding characteristic.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for robocall steering over voice-hosted traffic networks. The disclosed framework provides novel systems and methods for increasing the accuracy and efficiency in tracking, identifying, blocking and preventing robocalls and robocallers. The disclosed systems and methods provide mechanisms for identifying and removing unwanted voice traffic from networks. The disclosed systems and methods analyze voice traffic over a predetermined period of time (e.g., 1 day or 30 days, for example), and leverage this information into a “know your customer” (KYC) score. This score enables incoming calls to be routed, controlled and/or blocked as they are communicated over voice networks.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for ringless voicemail detection are provided. In an example, a first call attempt to a phone number may be detected. In response to detecting a second call attempt to the phone number occurring within a first threshold timespan of the first call attempt being detected, first processing of the second call attempt is withheld. In response to the first call attempt being cancelled within a second threshold timespan of the first call attempt being detected, second processing of the second call attempt is performed based upon a policy.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for handling call requests, prior to the performance of a call setup procedure, based on attributes of a calling User Equipment (“UE”) and/or a called UE. A Messaging Application Server may receive a call request, from the calling UE and to the called UE, identify a category or event type associated with the call request, and notify the called UE of the call request, including the category or event type. Different categories or event types may be associated with different sets of eligible actions to perform. The called UE may indicate a particular action, associated with the identified category or event type, and the MAS may handle the call request according to the particular action (e.g., reject the call request or proceed with a call setup procedure).
