T-Mobile and Comcast have launched cross-network verification, allowing users to know that the calls they are receiving is from an actual person and not a spammer or robocaller.
If you’ve ever received a headache inducing robocall you certainly are not alone. Veuer's Mercer Morrison has the story.Calls between T-Mobile users and Comcast's Xfinity Voice home subscribers will now be"verified," the latest move in the ongoing fight against robocalls.
They use a handoff system recommended by the FCC where the caller's network verifies that a legitimate call is being made with a"digital signature." The recipient's network then confirms the signature on its side. Calls made between Comcast's mobile service, known as Xfinity Mobile, and T-Mobile will not be able to take advantage of the verification system, at least not right away. Comcast's mobile service uses Verizon's wireless network, so it will have to wait for Verizon to enable the functionality to offer the capability with T-Mobile's network.
