Security update

Building a more secure communication experience.

Your business caller ID helps customers recognise your calls and get back to you with confidence. Validate your CLIP No Screening numbers before end of 2026 to continue displaying your business phone number while supporting a more secure and trusted communications experience.

Discover NFON SIP Trunk

Stay recognisable to your customers.

Your phone number is more than just a way to make calls, it's part of your business identity.

When customers recognise who's calling, they're more likely to answer the phone, trust the conversation and easily get back in touch if they miss your call.

Validating your CLIP No Screening numbers helps ensure your business caller ID continues to be displayed after end of the year 2026.

Make it easy for your customers to return missed calls and continue important conversations.

Please note: Validation is only required if you use phone numbers with an NFON SIP Trunk that are neither hosted by NFON nor have been ported to NFON.

Important information for partners:

Partners must submit the necessary documents for all new customers who want to use CLIP No Screening with SIP trunk during the initial setup – this is the only way to ensure that the clipped phone number will still be displayed to the called party after end of 2026. If the documents are not yet available, partners can first create the customer account and submit the documents later.

Validate your numbers in three simple steps.

We've made the validation process straightforward.

1. Find your numbers

Identify the phone numbers you use with CLIP No Screening that are not owned by or ported to NFON.

2. Gather your documents

Prepare one of the following:

  • A recent bill from your telecommunications provider (not older than 3 months) showing that you own the number or that of the number holder

  • If it is a telephone number with extensions, a corresponding proof of the telephone number block must also be submitted.

  • In addition, a certificate of eligibility confirming that you are authorized to use another company's phone number if you are not the number holder.

3. Submit your validation request

Send your validation request through your NFON Partner or email us directly at:

Please include:

  • the phone number(s) you want to validate;

  • your supporting documentation.

What happens after you submit your request.

Our team will review your request and validate your numbers. Validation typically takes up to ten working days.

If your numbers haven't been validated by the end of 2026, your calls will still go through, but your caller ID will temporarily be displayed as Anonymous instead of your business phone number.

As soon as your numbers have been successfully validated, your business caller ID will automatically be displayed again.

Why it matters.

By validating your numbers, you'll continue to enjoy the benefits of displaying your business caller ID:

  • Be recognised instantly – Customers know who's calling before they answer.

  • Make it easy to call you back – Your business number remains visible for missed calls.

  • Build trust – Displaying your business number creates a more professional and trusted calling experience.
