Market Context of Spam

Spam Robs

Unwanted calls waste untold resources, including telephony capacity, agent time, and more.

Unclear Burden

It remains unclear which organizations or carriers (if any) bear the responsibility for spam filtering

Accountability

Carriers do not hold each other accountable unless explicit data is collected and provided

Incentives

There is no end to the financial incentives that encourage robocalls

Statute

US Congress has passed the TRACED Act to discourage unauthorized robocalls

Our Approach

We can remove spam calls to your 8YY and DID numbers, saving time and money. Our fully automated solution allows you to filter unwanted calls without dropping valid calls. Here’s how it works:

1

Calls are inspected by Evolve's IMS​

Calls traverse multiple paths through public switched telephone networks to Evolve Cellular. Before a call is answered or routed it is inspected for spam

2

Calls are inspected​

When a call arrives at Evolve’s IMS, it is inspected for authentication and caller identity. The calls are checked against whitelist and blacklist rules. We also retrieve spam scoring statistics

3

Captcha for suspicious callers​

Callers who appear to be spam can be challenged through our automated Captcha system. Asking callers a validation question allows us to identify robots

4

Valid calls are routed​

If a caller is found in the whitelist, they have a positive score, or they pass the automated Captcha then they are routed to your business for normal treatment

5

Spam calls receive treatment​

Callers who have been blacklisted, have a negative score, or fail the automated Captcha process are treated as spam. Spam calls are processed as you wish. They may be sent to voice mail, deflected to the web, terminated, etc

6

Results are recorded and reported​

Call details (spam or otherwise) are recorded and reported to companies so they know the details of every caller. You will know how many calls were received, how much spam was filtered, and how many callers passed the Captcha, etc
