Kuwait Launches New Caller Id Definition To Reduce Fraudulent Calls

According to Al-Jarida Daily, the Communications and Information Technology Regulatory Authority has launched its website with a draft document called "Caller Name Identification" to gather feedback.

This move aims to reduce fraudulent calls in the country. Using the Caller Name Identification feature, the recipient of a call will be able to identify the name of a legal entity, whether it is a government agency, a private company, or a bank, through Kuwaiti mobile networks.

In a number of studies, the importance of the service in reducing fraudulent calls and providing users with assurance that the calls they receive are genuine was examined.

The Authority has identified sectors that are most affected by electronic fraud campaigns targeting the country in order to prioritize the implementation of this initiative. This initiative reflects the Authority's commitment to improving the quality of telecommunications services and reducing the number of electronic fraud operations that target users, according to Omar Al-Omar, Chairman of the Authority's Board of Directors.

To ensure the quality of service and ensure the readiness of their networks, the Authority has directed telecommunications companies to conduct the necessary tests. The Authority has posted the draft on its official website for public participation, and interested parties have until November 29 to offer their opinions.
