T-Mobile announces enhanced caller ID service that sounds just like Google Verified Calls

If you have a smartphone and live in the US, you're no doubt familiar with the scourge of robocalls that bombard our telephone systems. There were over 50 billion robocalls placed in the last year — even the head of the FCC can't keep them away from her phone. The proposed answer to this inundation of unwanted calls is STIR/SHAKEN, a system designed to authenticate the information in your caller ID. T-Mobile is among the carriers working to improve caller ID verification, so it's no surprise that it's taking another step towards establishing industry best practices.
