caller ID authentication or “spoofing protection


Andrew Jurevich

Second time this month I've received a call/text about me calling random numbers. 

However, I know for sure I did not make these calls.  

Does ID have any phone number protection systems in place so my number cannot be stolen for fraudulent activity? 

 

I want to enable caller ID authentication or any existing spoofing protection. 

Please advise.

There is no pay to prevent anyone from using your number as their CLI. Doesn’t matter what network you’re on!

The spoofers will get bored of using your number at some point and will move onto someone else’s unfortunately.

Hi ​@Andrew Jurevich 

 

Sorry to hear this, unfortunately as suggested by others above, there isn’t much that can be done to avoid this, we’d recommend the following;
