Particular embodiments receive, by a payment service in association with a user account associated with a service provider, an identity verification submission associated with an identifier and a name. The payment service, for the phone number, queries contact records associated with user accounts associated with the service provider. The payment service receives, as a result of the query, several name options associated with the phone number, where each of the name options are stored in individual contact records. The payment service determines a name option of the several name options to associate with the identifier based at least in part on a similarity of individual name options to other name options. The payment service approves or rejects the identity verification submission based at least in part on the determined name option.

In accordance with some embodiments, an electronic device is described. A user interface is displayed while detecting an incoming call from a first phone number. In response to detecting the incoming call and in accordance with a determination that the first phone number for the incoming call does not correspond to an entry in a contact list, the first phone number corresponding to the incoming call is displayed. In response to detecting the incoming call and in accordance with a determination that the first number for the incoming call corresponds to a first entry in the contact list, a name associated with the first entry and / or a graphic associated with the first entry is displayed, without displaying the first phone number.

Exemplary embodiments may use a contactless card as a secondary form of authentication in a multi-factor authentication for a secure messaging service. The recipient party of a request to initiate a messaging service session (such as a server computing device) may be programmed to use the phone number of the originating device to look up records regarding an identity of a party and their associated phone number as a primary credential and then may require an authentication credential originating from the contactless card as a secondary credential for the initiating party. In some instances, the credential originating from the contactless card is a onetime password that is valid only for a period of time. The recipient party determines whether the onetime password is valid. If both credentials are valid, a secure messaging session may be initiated with the initiating party.

This system prevents unintended incoming calls from callers who are unaware of the change in the phone number associated with the user of a telephone terminal. [Solution] This is a telephone control device to which multiple telephone terminals are connected. When the telephone number associated with a user of a telephone terminal is changed, it includes a storage means that stores the previous telephone number associated with the user and information on the date and time the telephone number was changed, a determination means that, when an incoming call is received, determines whether the date and time the call was received falls within a predetermined range from the date and time the telephone number was changed, as stored in the storage means, and a processing means that, if the determination means determines that the date and time the call was received falls within a predetermined range from the date and time the telephone number was changed, executes a predetermined process for the incoming call before performing a sequence based on the incoming call.

According to an aspect, there is provided an application server for an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem, IMS, network. The application server maintains, in a database, a plurality of entries for a plurality of subscribers of a display name service. Each entry comprises a phone number and a display name of a subscriber. The application server receives, from a node of the IMS network, a session initiation request. The application server determines whether a calling party has subscribed to the display name service by searching the database based on a phone number of the calling party. In response to finding, from the database, an entry comprising the phone number, the application server appends the display name comprised in the entry to at least one part of the session initiation request to be displayed to the called party, and routes the session initiation request to the node of the IMS network.

A call management system for an outbound call center uses one or more processors to select a phone number from a pool of available numbers for calls placed on one or multiple carriers. The system evaluates both carrier-specific metrics, such as the number of instances a phone number has been tagged for enhanced evaluation, the duration of these tags, and their frequency, as well as non-carrier metrics like the area code associated with the call, the number's usage history over specific time periods, and its regulatory feedback profile. Metrics for the carrier facilitating the call are weighted more heavily to optimize call performance. After selecting the most suitable phone number based on these factors, the system embeds it into the header of the call initiation message.

In one embodiment, an exemplary computer-implemented method may comprise: obtaining a trained call verification machine learning model that determines when a phone number is associated with a service provider that is associated with a delivery portion of a user activity with an entity within a time window; receiving, from a computing device of a first user, an indication of a communication being received from a second user; receiving activity information of a particular activity associated with the first user and a particular entity; utilizing the trained call verification machine learning model to determine, based at least in part on the activity information and the communication, that the second user is the particular service provider that is associated with a delivery portion of the particular activity associated with the particular entity.

During operation, a computer system may receive, from an electronic device, information specifying a potential gift for a recipient (such as a link to the potential gift) and second information specifying the recipient (such as a name, an email address, a phone number, etc.). In response, the computer system may access (or receive), e.g., in memory in the computer system, predefined preferences associated with the recipient. Then, the computer system may determine suitability of the potential gift for the recipient based at least in part on the predefined preferences. When the potential gift is unsuitable, the computer system may provide, addressed to the electronic device, a recommendation for a suitable alternative gift for the recipient based at least in part on the predefined preferences. Alternatively, when the potential gift is suitable, the computer system may provide, addressed to the electronic device, a confirmation to proceed with the gift.
