Does calls with a checkmark are verified with the carrier happen with every carrier? Why does Verizon do this? Does Verizon always do this?

I am using an iPhone and I noticed some thing I don’t quite understand. So I’ll see if I can get any advice from the community.


this question I have is about a message I have with my iPhone incoming calls only, that days “calls with a checkmark are verified with the carrier.” I figured out this is a Verizon thing . My carrier is not Verizon. This contact that this message shows on, does have Verizon as a carrier. But does Verizon only do this? Does Verizon always do this? When do they do this? And why do they do this? What does it mean to me?

AT&T Activates Call Validation Displays may be others too have activated


I am not sure which carriers have this Caller Verification Services

  • Caller Verified Check Mark, is a new technology aimed at reducing spoofed calls to customers.

Spoofed calls occur when a scammer temporarily hijacks a number to match the area code and prefix of the person's phone number being targeted. Current protection apps only block known scam numbers, not spoofed calls.

  • Calls marked as verified have an on-screen display when a call has been verified. Non-verified calls or calls from customers of other mobile carriers continue to come in as not verified.
  • "Calls from customers of other carriers will continue to come in as not verified (Unchecked)"
