FCC & Compliance
The industry process of following a suspicious call hop by hop back through each carrier until the originating provider and its customer are identified.
A traceback request asks a carrier to identify who handed it a specific call, identified by calling number, called number, and timestamp. Each provider in the chain answers in turn until the origination point is found.
Response speed and accuracy are treated as evidence of good faith. Slow, incomplete, or evasive responses are cited directly in FCC enforcement actions.
You cannot answer a traceback without complete, searchable CDRs and a reliable link from origid back to a verified customer. Build that before the first request arrives.
The FCC-designated consortium that coordinates traceback investigations of suspected illegal robocall campaigns across carriers.
The per-call record capturing calling and called numbers, timestamps, duration, route, disposition, and the customer responsible.
The FCC authorization a carrier needs to provide interstate or international telecommunications service — and which the FCC can revoke.
The signed JSON Web Token inside the Identity header that asserts the calling number, called number, attestation level, and origination identifier.
