Why This Matters
Without a Robocall Mitigation Plan on file and a working STIR/SHAKEN attestation, other carriers are not permitted to keep accepting your originated traffic, this is what lets your calls keep reaching customers instead of being blocked or mislabeled.
What to Expect
What You'll Need
- Company name and Operating Company Number (OCN), if known
- Details of your softswitch/platform (e.g. FreeSWITCH, Asterisk, Metaswitch)
- Whether you already hold an SPC token or STI certificate
Typical Timeline
SPC token and certificate setup typically completes in 5-10 business days once the Policy Administrator processes your application; Robocall Mitigation Database filing is submitted within 3-5 business days of intake.
Frequently Asked Questions
These cover the full STIR/SHAKEN Compliance service - STIR/SHAKEN + RMD/OCN Setup is one part of it.
What is an SPC token?
A Service Provider Code token is the credential that lets your network sign calls under STIR/SHAKEN; it is issued by the industry Policy Administrator (STI-PA).
Do small VoIP providers need to comply?
Most originating voice providers are covered by the FCC's STIR/SHAKEN and Robocall Mitigation Database rules, including many smaller providers, we'll confirm your exact obligation.
What attestation level will my calls get?
It depends on your relationship with the calling customer; we help you configure policy to maximize A-level (full) attestation where appropriate.
What do all these terms actually mean?
In plain terms: STIR/SHAKEN is a caller-ID "signature" that proves a call is really coming from you, so it doesn't get flagged as spam. STI-PA (Policy Administrator) issues the SPC token that lets you sign calls. STI-CA (Certification Authority) issues your digital certificate. STI-GA (Governance Authority) oversees the whole system. Attestation (A/B/C) is how confident your signature is - A means "we fully vouch for this caller," C means "we can't vouch for them at all." The Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD) is a public FCC filing every voice provider must submit, signing (STIR/SHAKEN) or not.
Do I need Phase 1 first?
Yes, this is the STIR/SHAKEN portion of Phase 2, and it requires your FCC Core registration, FRN, and Form 499-A (Phase 1) to already be filed. See our FCC & Regulatory Filings page if you haven't done Phase 1 yet.
Are there ongoing costs after setup?
Yes, separate from our one-time setup fee: NECA charges ~$500/yr for your OCN, iconectiv charges ~$500/yr for STI-PA, and your STI-CA digital certificate renews at ~$500/yr, these go directly to those organizations. Annual re-attestation and renewal tracking is included in our Ongoing Compliance plan.
