I predict this will arrive first on mobile devices and home phones. Any predictions for when this will show up on enterprise SIP trunks?

A: Based on the discussions in the standards bodies, it is clear that the mobile devices will quickly implement a “Verified” graphic to their incoming call display. Most likely a green checkmark graphic. Others are quietly suggesting they will implement a call screening app for non-verified callers, asking the user to enter a two digit code for the call to go through. On the SIP trunking side, we expect that the UC/IP-PBX developers will be using the “verstat” tag to implement something similar on their IP Phones. However, IP phones have more limited displays – how they decide to display the verification status is TBD.
