Regulations

STIR/SHAKEN—The extension granted to foreign-based small service voice providers to register in the Robocall Mitigation Database(RMD) is coming to an end. To avoid any interruption in service, you must be registered in the RMD by June 30, 2022.

National routing will be mandatory for any calls using Level 6 numbers calling into Singapore. Any calls sent internationally will be blocked at the point of entry into Singapore as of July 31, 2022.

Sub-allocation of numbers will no longer be allowed. This decision applies only to numbers assigned after January 1, 2023 and does not affect numbers that have already been sub-allocated before January 1, 2023.

As part of the Number Authentication Mechanism Program (“MAN Program”) all operators in France will be required to:
– install the STIR/SHAKEN mechanism
– install and take part in the additional mechanisms and initiatives to combat fraud and spoofing, (i.e. monitoring platform).

The Finnish Regulator, FICORA, has issued recommendations that Finnish carriers block calls with Finnish Landline caller ID terminating to Finland over international routes. These are being implemented in unison by major networks.
