Call Authentication

One number decides whether an authenticated call actually reaches your customer. Your answer rate.

Call authentication is the set of standards and infrastructure that prove a call is coming from who it says it's from. Getting it right is what separates a signed, trusted call from one that gets flagged before it rings.

What authentication actually requires

Signing is only the first layer. Getting a call trusted and answered takes all four.

STIR/SHAKEN signing

Every call is cryptographically signed at origination, so carriers downstream can verify it wasn't spoofed.

See STIR/SHAKEN attestation

A-Level attestation

QVD signs at the highest attestation tier — full attestation of both the caller and the number — as the originating carrier.

Rich Call Data

Verified business name, logo, and call reason travel with the signed call as tamper-proof Rich Call Data.

See Branded Calling ID™

Direct carrier termination

Calls route straight to AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile — no aggregator in the middle to strip the attestation token.

Why it matters

Unauthenticated calls get labeled, blocked, or ignored

Carriers and handset apps score every inbound call in real time. A call with no attestation, weak attestation, or a flagged origin is more likely to display as Spam Likely, Scam Likely, or get blocked outright before it rings.
