TeleSign devoted time to develop a new version of their Phone Number Identification solution, PhoneID!  Spending countless amounts of hours, TeleSign’s engineers greatly improved their software originally created to defeat the issues caused by VOIP phone numbers and to gain priceless information about customers.  For years now, criminals have used VOIP phone numbers to defraud, steal, and cheat websites out of billions of dollars.  TeleSign found a way to defeat the problems from VOIP phone numbers, creating a shield for business against crime.  Phone Number Identification verifies what type of phone number is used by a customer (e.g. land-line, mobile phone, VoIP phone such as Skype), and can also tell which city, state, and zip code is associated with the telephone number.  Traditionally landlines and wireless phones have been able to be traced back to the original purchaser, however, VOIP numbers are generated on computers and can be difficult or impossible to be traced; for they often manipulate the tracker into thinking they originate domestically, yet in reality they come from a source on the other side of the globe.  Phone Identification can crack this programming and verify any call.  With this program implemented a client can now avoid processing calls from phone numbers deemed useless, significantly improving the telephone verification system and decreasing online fraud.  The updated, simplified versions of Phone ID has become the most powerful product available to website owners who need protection from unauthorized users.  TeleSign will dramatically decrease the amount of fraud and criminals on any website!  TeleSign can be ready to serve your website within minutes using their SOAP-based API technology.  They directly integrate their program into your company’s website over the Internet with no need to wait around for costly hardware.  There protection starts immediately!
