An example method of operation may include one or more of identifying an outbound call placed by a mobile device subscribed to a protected carrier network, determining the outbound call is destined for a destination telephone number that was stored in a call history of the mobile device, determining the destination telephone number is a scam call suspect telephone number based on one or more identified call filter parameters associated with the destination telephone number, and forwarding a scam call notification to the mobile device while the outbound call is dialing the destination telephone number.

One disclosed system includes dialer device with a dialer identifier that initiates a call with a receiver device with a receiver identifier over a voice channel. A database stores: interaction data in association with both the receiver identifier and the dialer identifier; a content quality metric in association with the interaction data; and a network topology in which the receiver identifier and the dialer identifier are associated with nodes and are connected by an edge. A server is programmed to: update, based on the content quality metric and the network topology, a rankings associated with the receiver identifier and the dialer identifier; and one of: surface the ranking associated with the dialer identifier and the ranking associated with the receiver identifier to an external searching agent using an external data channel and without using any voice channel; or rank the dialer identifier for an internal searching agent using the ranking.

A system includes a client device including a processor, a telephony radio that supports telephony communications, and a data radio that supports data communications. The client device conducts, via the telephony radio, a call with a telephony service. Further the client device identifies a context of the call, identifies a subset of stored private data associated with the context of the call; and in parallel with the call, provides the subset of the stored private data, via a data radio, to a data service.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing programmatical public switched telephone network (“PSTN”) trunking for cloud hosted applications. In various embodiments, a computing system may determine one or more first network interconnection characteristics associated with a first entity service provider within a call service network operated by a call network service provider. Based on the determined one or more first network interconnection characteristics associated with the first entity service provider, the computing system may cause a network provisioning application layer to establish one or more network interconnections between a first network associated with the first entity service provider and the call service network, in some cases, by establishing shared peering connections between the first network and the call service network. The shared peering connections may enable a plurality of customers of the first entity service provider to establish call service connections that are shared over the shared peering connections.

A system comprises a service platform comprising an applications server. The applications server is configured to receive an inbound communication, route the inbound communication to a speech-enabled intelligent script, the speech-enabled intelligent script comprising one or more of predetermined prompts and dynamically-generated prompts, and determine a source of the inbound communication and a destination of the inbound communication. The applications server is configured to determine that at least one prior inbound communication directed to the destination has been received from the source of the inbound communication. The applications server is configured to receive, in response to at least one predetermined prompt or dynamically-generated prompt, a request for direct contact information associated with the destination of the inbound communication. The applications server is configured to send, to the source of the inbound communication, a message comprising the direct contact information for the destination of the inbound communication.

A system, server, and method of DTMF detection in a VoIP network.

Described are techniques for determining an emergency event and associating label data with emergency communications to ensure that the emergency communications are provided with a greater quality and priority than non-emergency communications. When a quantity of communications associated with a network exceeds a threshold value, policy data may be generated and provided to network devices. The policy data may be configured to cause the network devices to transit communications associated with label data with high quality and connectivity. Correspondence between communications from the network and stored values indicative of emergency communications may be used to determine emergency communications from other data. Label data may be associated with the determined emergency communications to cause network devices to transit the communications in the manner indicated by the policy data.

An authentication server according to an embodiment disclosed includes a number receiver that receives a number of a user terminal from a callee who has received a call originated from the user terminal, an device authenticator that determines whether to generate an authentication key based on the number of the user terminal received from the callee and a caller number received from the user terminal, and generates the authentication key when it is determined to generate the authentication key, and an authentication key transmitter that transmits the authentication key to the user terminal.

A method of operating a network server, such as a mobile application gateway, connect devices on a cellular or carrier network with individual networks, such as enterprise voice and data networks or residential networks. The effects of the present invention are far reaching in terms of transferring effective call control from the cellular network into the control of the individual network, such as the enterprise, and enabling new business models for the purchase of cellular service from a public cellular carrier by an enterprise.

Structures and protocols are presented for signaling a status or decision concerning a wireless service or device within a region to a network participant or other communication device (smartphone or vehicle, e.g.).
