netnumber’s New Dynamic DNO Service Helps Providers Meet Expanded FCC Anti-Fraud Mandates

netnumber has just announced the launch of Number Check Dynamic DNO, a powerful new service delivering real-time and up-to-date phone number validation data in North America that will help providers meet newly expanded Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order

This critical FCC update, announced September 5th, expands service providers’ call blocking and Do-Not-Originate (DNO) requirements, underscoring the important role of careful number vetting and validation for service providers seeking to combat voice and messaging fraud. netnumber, a global leader in Number Intelligence as a Service (NIaaS) solutions, has assessed the FCC’s new order and offers its Number Check Dynamic DNO as a highly effective and cost-efficient solution. 

The new service is an expansion of its robust Number Check service, a dynamic tool enabling enterprises and service providers to quickly and effectively assess the likelihood of a phone number anywhere in the world being valid or invalid, thereby boosting phone number verification processes. The new Number Check Dynamic DNO service builds on this offering to include added DNO data elements that align with the FCC’s requirements. 

With a simple, API-based implementation, Number Check Dynamic DNO allows for telephone numbers to be checked in real time with very low latency — in contrast with list-based DNO services that often lack updates for days or weeks. 

“Remaining aligned with FCC requirements is crucial for both service providers’ business viability and customer protection. Number Check Dynamic DNO goes well beyond the FCC’s requirements for reasonable DNO sources, offering key benefits that keep providers ahead of evolving compliance needs,” states Steve Legge, CEO and President of netnumber. “We also understand that when new regulations come along, service providers often expect their costs to go up. So, we designed Number Check Dynamic DNO as a robust and cost-conscious solution to fulfill these obligations with minimal budgetary disruption.”

The new FCC regulations — among other mandates — require all voice service providers in a call path, rather than only gateway providers, to block calls based on a reasonable Do-Not-Originate list, which may include unused, unallocated, or invalid numbers. In announcing the new requirements, the FCC reiterated the importance of DNO and added clarity on the use of DNO lists, noting that it does not mandate a specific DNO list, rather allowing providers to use any DNO list so long as the list is reasonable. 

Failure to remain compliant with the new protocols would allow the Enforcement Bureau to block all traffic from that provider. With this in mind, service providers must be ready to adopt affirmative, effective measures with phone number intelligence data services. netnumber’s new service — Number Check Dynamic DNO — enables providers to do just that, delivering real-time and up-to-date data in North America and around the globe.
