When pressed, each touchtone key generates two tones of a specified frequency that carry circuits designed to carry voice traffic. One tone is generated from a high-frequency group while the other is from a low-frequency group, preventing a voice from imitating the tones. The Birth and Evolution of DTMF and Payment Securityīetter known as “touchtone phone” technology, and originally a registered trademark of AT&T, DTMF is the signal you generate when you press or touch each key on your phone. This post explores the history of DTMF as well as some benefits and risks involved with the technology. And DTMF masking technology is rapidly emerging as the new PCI gold standard for phone-based payment security. We have a significant number of customer calls reaching the Contact center that presents the same queue number to all agents.The image of dual-tone multi-frequency signaling (DTMF) in contact centers has recently received a makeover. Used to power automated IVR menus for years, DTMF now facilitates secure keypad pay-by-phone technology.When it reached a particular threshold it will start answering with IVR bot challenging the caller that ‘ I am not a robot‘ and demands typing the number that it announces.After reaching a particular score it will starts displaying a yellow sign with an exclamation mark plus a text label saying “SPAM LIKELY” along with the calls.Microsoft has some internal score system based on the number of call a particular number makes to MS Teams per day / per hour.The Call Spam filtering was announced on August 13st and quickly went GA by Microsoft around September 2021 (see feature ID: 85386) but it’s not documented how it works and closest official description can be found on the Teams PS command Set-CsTeamsCallingPolicy where you find a mention to an ‘Captcha IVR bot’īased of the description, parameters naming and some scattered information of other internet posts: A couple of minutes after we ran the command ‘ Set-CsTeamsCallingPolicy -SpamFilteringEnabledType “Disabled” –Identity ‘ the calls started ringing the agent and all went back to normal.
