Just like we did some months ago for United States, we initiated a series of internal network changes aimed towards the overall improvement of the service which will also allow us to provide more features in the coming future.

We do not expect any impact to the service while the changes are completed and we’re also conducting extensive tests and considerations to make sure of it.

In the unlikely event that you encounter any issue with any of your Canadian numbers, our technical support team will be available as usual to assist.

Thank you for your continued support as we’re constantly moving towards a better offer for our customers.

In line with all the recent rulings in favor of protecting and empowering consumers, VoIP.ms will start enforcing valid Caller IDs as per the NANPA and ITU-T E.164 standards as of January 1^st, 2020.  This regulation will apply for all customers including reseller’s clients.

Considering that VoIP.ms already has call filtering solutions, enforcing Caller IDs is simply the cherry on the cake! In fact, we found value in joining all the other phone providers in this massive industry shift in order to ensure that consumers benefit from a minimum level of protection against nuisance calls.

Therefore, calls displaying the following Caller ID information will be blocked by our platform:

1. International calls with Caller ID containing less than 7 digits and greater than 15 digits;
2. North America calls with Caller ID not containing exactly 10 digits (exception will be made for 7 digits for 310-xxx numbers);
3. North America calls with Caller ID containing 10 digits, but with an unassigned NPA (first 3 digits of the number);
4. North America calls with Caller ID containing 10 digits, but where an unassignable NXX is used (i.e. the second block of 3 digits where the first digit is either zero (0) or one (1)).

Compliance with these standards will ensure proper call termination and reduce potential connection issues, thus resulting in a great call completion rate.

If you are passing your Caller ID from VoIP.ms customer portal, please review your Caller ID number to make sure it complies with these standards. In order to do so, head over to your portal, click “Main Menu”, “Account Settings”, then the “General” tab, edit the “Caller ID number” field and hit save. You can also do this for your Sub Accounts by going to "Sub Accounts" menu, then click on "Manage Sub Accounts".

If you are passing your Caller ID from your own system such as a PBX or a switch, you only need to make sure it follows the guidelines aforementioned.

On top of this, the good news is that we have a few features in our roadmap to allow you to add an extra layer of protection against nuisance calls.

For more information, check out our Wiki article right here or directly contact our support.

Adding on our latest features about security, all the team at VoIP.ms is excited to announce the release of our latest features: IP Address Restriction and POP Restriction.

These new settings are specifically aimed at protecting all your SIP/IAX accounts and preventing any kind of unauthorized outbound calls by effectively limiting the source of the traffic only to the values you specify, and therefore, rejecting any other source.

IP Address Restriction: This feature is located under “Main Menu”, “Account Settings” then under “Security” tab. When enabled, outgoing calls will be authorized only from the IP address or IP range specified. In other words, this means that when you set an IP restriction to your home IP address, you are effectively telling the server to accept calls from your home and nowhere else.

POP restriction: This feature is also located under “Main Menu”, “Account Settings” then under “Security” tab. When enabled, outgoing calls will be authorized only from the Points of Presence (POPs) selected. This feature works in a similar fashion than IP restriction, but provides more flexibility since the restriction will apply to the server you choose, instead of a specific IP address or a range.

Please note that for both features, you may also easily replicate the restriction to all your sub accounts at once or do it individually by heading over to the sub accounts menu. For more information, you may consult our Wiki article here.

Make sure to check them out and feel free to ask our team for any questions you may have.

Adding on our latest features about security, all the team at VoIP.ms is excited to announce the release of our latest feature, Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) Authentication System.

This feature is located under “Main Menu”, “Account Settings” then under “Security” tab. When activating the feature, you will receive a QR Code in order to add your VoIP.ms account into your favourite authentication application (e.g. FreeOTP). Once enabled and properly set up, the next time you will log in into your portal, you will be prompted to a second verification step which consists of a six-digit code which you will generate through the authentication application.

Please note that you cannot enable both Two Step Verification and the TOTP Authentication. Also, note that your previous browser recognition has been wiped for security purposes. For more information, you may consult our Wiki article here.
