Abstract: A method of validating an enterprise phone number service request is provided. The method includes generating, by an enterprise validator, an authentication code corresponding to a phone number and transmitting the authentication code to an enterprise. The method further includes transmitting, by an enterprise to a service provider, a service request that includes the authentication code and identifies a service corresponding to the phone number. The method further includes transmitting, by the service provider to the enterprise validator, a validation request that includes the authentication code and identifies the phone number. The method further includes validating, by the enterprise validator, that the authentication code in the validation request matches the authentication code generated by the enterprise validator; and, upon validation, providing, by the service provider to the enterprise, a service for the phone number.

Abstract: An apparatus including a display circuit, a requestor circuit, a request provisioning circuit, an Internet of Things Universal Identification (IoT UID) processing circuit, and an IoT UID provisioning circuit. The display circuit generates a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to receive one or more user input command values corresponding to device property data for one or more Brownfield devices. The requestor circuit generates a registration request that includes the device property data. The request provisioning circuit transmits the registration request to an Internet of Things (IoT) device registrar server. The Internet of IoT UID processing circuit interprets one or more IoT UIDs generated by the IoT device registrar server in response to the registration request. The IoT UID provisioning circuit at least one of: transmits the one or more IoT UIDs; or displays the one or more IoT UIDs on an electronic display.

Abstract: A system for visualizing call routing data associated with a telecommunications identifier is provided. The system includes a client interface and a parsing tool. The client interface is structured to communicate with a telecommunications management platform having a database that stores call routing data. The parsing tool is associated with the client interface. The parsing tool receives call routing data associated with the telecommunications identifier in response to a query of the database, and the parsing tool generates parsed data by parsing the call routing data. The parsed data is structured to display the call routing data in a tree format on the client interface.

Abstract: A method for predicting fraudulent call activity is provided. The method includes receiving one or more datasets indicating call activity corresponding to a phone number, and analyzing the one or more datasets to identify unusual call activity. The method further includes generating a fraud prediction, based at least in part on the identified unusual call activity, that the phone number will be used for fraud.

Abstract: A method for identifying a fraudulent phone number is provided. The method includes receiving a user report dataset indicating fraudulent activity corresponding to a phone number, and responsive to receiving the user report dataset, identifying a record in a database corresponding to the phone number. The method further includes tagging the record to identify the phone number as being associated with fraudulent activity.

The client interface is structured to communicate with a telecommunications management platform having a database that stores call routing data. The parsing tool is associated with the client interface. The parsing tool receives call routing data associated with the telecommunications identifier in response to a query of the database, and the parsing tool generates parsed data by parsing the call routing data. The parsed data is structured to display the call routing data in a tree format on the client interface.

Abstract: A method including receiving a natural language input and determining a telecommunications routing code based at least in part on the natural language input. The telecommunications routing code is associated with routing calls to a telecommunications number. The method further includes populating the telecommunications routing code at a node of a call routing decision tree to generate a populated call routing decision tree comprising a call routing template.

Abstract: A Toll-Free Management Platform (TFMP) includes methods and systems for number administration, customer administration, call management services, texting services and text registry, and a smart services registry. The TFMP may allow users to receive through a web-based interface, an activate request from a user, wherein the request includes at least a customer record template reference and an indication of when to active a toll-free telecommunications number associated with the request. The request may include at least one IP address datum associated with the toll-free telecommunications number. A user interface may allow activating a toll-free number, and users may access the TFMP to create and access existing templates of toll-free call routing templates, and utilize a routing tree engine to create customized call routing trees for the toll-free numbers of interest to the user.

Abstract: A system for visualizing call routing data associated with a toll-free identifier, the system including a client interface adapted to transmit a command to at least one server upon which executes software code providing a toll-free telecommunications management platform the toll-free telecommunication platform being in communication with a database upon which is stored call routing data and a parsing tool associated with the client interface, wherein the parsing tool receives call routing data associated with a toll-free telecommunications number in response to a query of the database and wherein the parsing tool parses the call routing data to display the call routing data associated with the toll-free telecommunications number in tree format on the client interface.

Abstract: A method for reducing costs associated with fraudulent call activity is provided. The method includes receiving data associated with usage of a telecommunications number. The method further includes analyzing the data to determine that the usage of the telecommunications number is indicative of a fraudulent call activity. The method further includes assigning a call route to the telecommunications number adapted to reduce a cost associated with the fraudulent call activity.

Abstract: A toll-free tagging service is provided that includes a subscription-based service that is made available to responsible organizations, consumers and businesses. The toll-free tagging service may provide the ability to tag a toll-free number (or group of numbers), and once a number is tagged, to track updates to that number that may then be distributed to customers through emails/text messages or other means. Subscribers of the toll-free tagging service may also have the ability to create, view, update and delete tags through a web application, mobile application, or some other user interface.
