CALEA ECFS Mandatory Filings - one more requirement to know about
by marylou＠backuptelecom.com June 1, 2023

June 1, 2023

I just want to give everyone one more heads-up about an upcoming change I was just notified of. Beginning 30 days after the new rule is published, you need to start filing your CALEA SSI plan online. If you have an FCC login, you should already have access to the CALEA filing system (CEFS). It shows up as an option in the boxes below on this page. https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fcc-user-login For those of you who aren't familiar with CALEA, it basically notifies the law enforcement agencies what your procedures are so that when they need to request surveillance from your network they know who to contact and how to do it. For more information on CALEA filings see: https://www.fcc.gov/calea Also below is the announcement and link for the order. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- On May 15, 2023, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau issued an Order amending the FCC's rules to now require electronic filing of new and updated System Security and Integrity Policies and Procedures (SSI Plans) under the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). The updated rule will become effective 30 days after publication of the FCC Order in the Federal Register. After publication in the Federal Register, the FCC will issue a Public Notice to announce the specific date for mandatory electronic filing of SSI Plans. Covered entities, which include telecommunications carriers, facilities-based broadband internet access providers, and interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers will be required to file SSI Plans in the new CALEA Electronic Filing System (CEFS). Filers can continue to choose to voluntarily file their SSI Plan electronically in CEFS or by paper until the new rule becomes effective, after which paper filings will no longer be accepted. Covered entities that already filed their SSI Plans by paper will not be required to re-file them electronically unless their SSI Plans need to be updated. All providers subject to CALEA must file SSI Plans before beginning service and must file any updates within 90 days of changes to a filed plan. Here is a link to the FCC's May 15, 2023 Order.

All carriers must get their STIR/SHAKEN certificate by June 30th!
by marylou＠backuptelecom.com May 31, 2023

May 31, 2023

Hey all, I just wanted to send out a reminder that the drop dead date for all carriers to get THEIR OWN STIR/SHAKEN certificate is coming up on June 30th. You can still have an underlying carrier sign your calls for you, but they must sign with YOUR token......not their own! You have to register with the STI-PA to start the process at this link: https://authenticatereg.iconectiv.com/register You must have your own IPES Company Code (aka OCN) and 499 filer ID to get a STIR/SHAKEN certificate. Just getting the certificate can take up to several weeks so please don't wait until the last minute to get one. I would hate to see anyone's network get shut down because they aren't signing their calls as per the FCC guidelines. MARY LOU CAREY BackUP Telecom Consulting Office: 615-791-9969 Cell: 615-796-1111

Bandwidth has acknowledged that enabling SMS on newly provisioned DIDs is failing. We detected the outage started between 8:50 to 8:55am EDT, though they first reported the outage at 9:42am EDT. We had a ticket open with them about it at 8:56am EDT.

Releasing numbers back to original carrier
by matthew＠corp.crocker.com May 15, 2023

May 15, 2023

Hello, It is our practice to release numbers back to the original carrier when a customer cancels service and doesn?t port the number away. We have some residential customers that want to cancel service over the winter and have us retain the number so they can re-use it in the spring. I?m trying to find some FCC or NANPA documentation that says we are/aren?t allowed to do that for a customer. Ultimately we will probably convert the customer from their FTTH/ONT voice to a soft phone voice during the off-season, that way they are still a customer and still paying for service. I don?t want to just camp on numbers and have to maintain the inventory. Anyone have any documentation on the correct way to handle disconnected numbers? -Matt

US / Canada SMS NNID Lookup
by beckman＠angryox.com May 12, 2023

May 12, 2023

I've spoken to NetNumber and the cost to query the NNID of a number starts around $500/month plus per-query fees. I tried to see if I could build a service around the data, offering an API at a no-contract per-query case, but they said that was against their Terms of Service. Are there any no-contract services that charge per query to get the current NNID of a DID in the US/Canada? There are many options for getting the LRN or Carrier information, but not many for NNID or SMS routing.

Local Calling Jurisdiction
by ciscoplumber＠gmail.com May 10, 2023

May 10, 2023

Does anyone know of any commercial products that can determine if a call is local? The product would look at what is defined in the Tariff documents, not just make the decision based on coordinates/distance between callers. I am aware of iConnectiv's solution. Thanks

Outbound Calls being marked as SPAM
by matthew＠corp.crocker.com April 5, 2023

April 5, 2023

We have a customer whos outbound calls are being marked as SPAM by the terminating carrier. We are sending the calls out fully signed (STIR/SHAKEN) with attest ?A? and all of the propery identity headers. The terminating carrier is Comcast from what we can tell, does anyone have any tricks we can use or something we may have missed to help get the calls marked correctly? Thanks -Matt
