Number Check Dynamic DNO
The Challenge: Meeting FCC Requirements on Do-Not-Originate (DNO) Data
As sophisticated fraud mechanisms continue to threaten mobile providers and enterprises, new tools are needed to further tighten security measures and help meet regulatory requirements. In the U.S., the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued mandates for service providers’ on call blocking and Do-Not-Originate (DNO) numbers and is currently considering expanding those regulations.
The FCC’s current requirements are designed to better protect consumers against unwanted and fraudulent communications by outlining the duties of gateway providers for voice calls and mobile wireless providers for text messaging related to the handling of DNO requirements.
Service providers risk non-compliance fines and operational constraints if they don’t remain in sync with FCC requirements.
The netnumber Solution
netnumber’s timely Number Check Dynamic DNO service is an extension of Number Check, a dynamic netnumber tool enabling enterprises and service providers to quickly and effectively assess the likelihood of a phone number anywhere in the world being valid or invalid, thereby boosting phone number verification processes.
Number Check Dynamic DNO expands on this offering, now including dynamic DNO phone number evaluation to help achieve compliance with increasingly stringent FCC regulations. In contrast to other services that use DNO lists which might be updated infrequently or lack comprehensive coverage, Number Check Dynamic DNO evaluates the DNO status of a U.S. phone number in real time, reflecting the constant activity that phone numbers undergo. This enables communication service providers to accurately identify DNO phone numbers for both voice and text messaging services.
When it comes to text messaging, Number Check Dynamic DNO is undeniably the most intelligent on the market. Underpinned by the netnumber Services Registry (nnSR®), the authoritative text messaging routing registry in the U.S., Number Check Dynamic DNO benefits from real-time data on hundreds of millions of phone numbers in the nnSR.
With a simple, API-based implementation and a cost-effective price model, Number Check Dynamic DNO helps service providers achieve compliance with minimal investment and ongoing expenses.
In addition to the regulatory compliance benefit, Number Check Dynamic DNO helps communication service providers thoroughly evaluate the validity of the voice caller IDs and SMS/MMS sender IDs for the traffic on their network. Flagging voice calls and text messages with invalid originating numbers help them manage their traffic more effectively, save costs and fight fraud.

Use Cases
The FCC requires mobile wireless providers to block text messages and gateway providers to block voice calls from DNO numbers. Implementing this requirement requires a DNO service that provides comprehensive data, including the hundreds of millions of text-enabled phone numbers and toll-free numbers. Using one of the standard APIs like ENUM or HTTPS to integrate with Number Check Dynamic DNO, a mobile wireless provider determines the text messaging DNO status of every SMS/MMS sender ID on their network in real time. Text messages sent from DNO numbers are then blocked.
In short, Number Check Dynamic DNO helps service providers achieve compliance with the FCC regulations easily and cost-effectively. The integration via standard telco APIs avoids the need to manipulate data manually or to spend time and money on adapting to proprietary formats.
