Assured Billing Lookup (ABL^TM)

ABL service combines two of Accudata 's most sought-after services into one automated, two-stage process. This thorough service helps telephone companies complete more collect calls. When a caller dials a collect call through an ABL -serviced company, Accudata queries the North American LIDB databases to confirm accurate billing information. If the LIDB query returns verified billing information, we respond to the carrier that the call should be placed. If the LIDB cannot confirm appropriate billing information, the second step of ABL kicks in. This step, called Billing Name and Address (BNA) verification, queries secondary databases for a corresponding, current, mailable billing address. If we find the address, the phone company can allow the call. If not, it can deny the call. The entire ABL process takes place in a second or two, unbeknownst to callers. 

VoIP Information Database (VIDBT)

Operating like a traditional Line Information Database (LIDB) that can provide billing validation and Caller ID names for telephony applications, the Accudata VIDB stores similar caller and billing information necessary for unique VoIP applications, like location addresses. As the world migrates from traditional telephony to VoIP, the demand for billing validation and caller names will remain - plus the addition of VoIP-specific information. Our VIDB storage and lookup services fill the gap to provide this vital information to customers. Also, some customers simply wish to know if a number is a VoIP number. Our VIDB service provides that information as well.  

Mobile Information Database (MIDB^TM)

Operating like a traditional Line Information Database (LIDB) that can provide billing validation and Caller ID names for telephony applications, the Accudata MIDB stores similar caller and billing information necessary for unique mobile or cellular applications, like location addresses. As the world migrates from traditional telephony to cellular, the demand for billing validation and caller names is still there - plus the addition of VoIP-specific information. Our MIDB storage and lookup services fill the gap to provide this vital information to customers including whether a number is a cell number or not.  Used in combination, Accudata 's LIDB, VIDB and MIDB services can quickly identify if a line is a regular landline, VoIP, or cellular. Accudata can even include the name of the line's service provider.
