i3Forum Publishes Guidance on CLI Verification Solutions
Consumer trust in the validity of the calling party (CLI) has significantly eroded due to CLI misuse and spoofing by perpetrators of unwanted and illegal communications. These scams are frequently originated oversees, crossing borders and jurisdictions, riding the back of international voice and messaging networks. The international communications industry is fighting back to restore trust in the traffic transited by our global networks focusing on CLI verification solutions.
The i3Forum’s Technology Workgroup has prepared two abstracts summarizing industry expert analysis and insights into solutions for verifying CLI in international calls. One focuses on the broader spectrum of all inbound international calls containing a domestic CLI and the second dealing specifically with mobile roaming verification (commonly referred to as is Roaming query solutions).
Analyzing potential solutions to combat unwanted and fraudulent communications is a priority of the Technology Workgroup. With many solutions being discussed throughout the industry and regulators focusing within their domestic boundaries, it’s critical for the international communications industry to represent the global context addressing worldwide challenges, opportunities, and nuances.
International carriers are well versed in dealing with global interworking challenges across all business functions including technology, operations, commercial, and regulatory. Effective solutions require close coordination among all stakeholders to ensure end-to-end integration across jurisdictions, operators, service providers, and their interconnected networks.
The i3Forum’s Technology Workgroup will continue to work on these topics together with One Consortium. The i3Forum and One Consortium partnership further enhances industry recommendations while also providing a platform for direct collaboration with regulators from around the world. The industry working closely with regulators from around the world is the best path forward towards meaningful and effective solutions.

Protecting voice and messaging from the fraudsters to drive and secure sustainable growth
This year c. USD 500 billion will be spent on digital ads globally, yet the click-through rate (CTR) for those is barely 1.5%.
Look around and there’s a lot of research into the Business Messaging (voice and A2P) sector and one common finding is that the industry as a whole is growing at a CAGR in excess of 10%. Our i3Forum members love growth but this is only sustainable when built on a solid foundation – and here at i3forum, that foundation boils down to the protection of all stakeholders and international communications channels.
Our neutral environment fosters genuine industry collaboration and delivers concrete, positive industry outcomes.
