A method for identifying a fraudulent phone number is provided. The method includes receiving a user report dataset indicating fraudulent activity corresponding to a phone number, and responsive to receiving the user report dataset, identifying a record in a database corresponding to the phone number. The method further includes tagging the record to identify the phone number as being associated with fraudulent activity.

A method for predicting fraudulent call activity is provided. The method includes receiving one or more datasets indicating call activity corresponding to a phone number, and analyzing the one or more datasets to identify unusual call activity. The method further includes generating a fraud prediction, based at least in part on the identified unusual call activity, that the phone number will be used for fraud.

A system and method for publishing and updating policy rules in a network can be based on predictive algorithms and blockchain techniques for network systems (e.g. next generation emergency systems).

A method including: receiving a user report dataset indicating fraudulent activity corresponding to a phone number; responsive to receiving the user report dataset, identifying a record in a database corresponding to the phone number; and tagging the record to identify the phone number as being associated with fraudulent activity.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems and methods for a collaboration conferencing system to track a total number of concurrently utilized ports across any number of conferencing bridges of the network for a particular customer and one or more billing actions may occur based on this tracking. This may result in an alternate billing option for the customer's use of the system. Further, a telecommunications network administrator may provide access to the collaboration conferencing system based on a total number of concurrently utilized ports rather than on a per conference or per minute basis. With the information of the number of purchased ports by the customer, the administrator may more accurately predict an available capacity for the collaboration conferencing system needed to support all of the users of the system and the potential collaboration conferences.

A method for managing callers into a conference system having a specific conferee limit for servers has steps as follow: for a first caller over the limit for a first conference server, the first caller electing a first conference, establishing a first tie line to a second conference server, and placing the first caller in a continuation of the first conference in the second conference server, for a subsequent caller over the limit, electing to join the first conference, placing the subsequent caller in the continuation in the second conference server, and for a subsequent caller electing to join a conference other than the first conference, determining that there is a listener in the first conference, moving the listener to the continuation in the second conference server, and accommodating the subsequent caller in the first conference server in the conference elected, preserving the single tie line.
