Report: "PhoneBurner Status"
Last updateNow that the dialer is fully operational and premium services are restored, this will be the last update we provide using this communication path. While our platform was in the process of coming back to full operations, we used these Statuspage updates to deliver information to you as the situation was quickly evolving. Now that our primary services have been restored, we are going to transition back to our typical communication channels and use the Statuspage only in the event of future service outages. We are aware of some uncommon call quality issues that are improving each day. We are also aware that there are still some customers who are waiting for their numbers to be restored and for compliance approval for SMS. We will continue to communicate regularly with you via email and in-app messaging. We recommend adding phoneburner.com as a safe sender in your email settings to ensure you continue to receive any important messages from us. We thank you for all of your patience and look forward to a bright future together.
Update - We have important updates regarding vPhone/Local ID numbers and SMS. Numbers Local ID and vPhone numbers purchased on or before January 25 are in the process of being restored. At this time, some numbers have been restored so continue to check your numbers library for the status of yours. Here are definitions of what those statuses mean: - Active (done & working) - Restore in Progress (in progress) - Pending Restore (in the queue to be restored) - In Review (being vetted by compliance) SMS For those still awaiting SMS approval, we need some additional info! Please fill out this form and we will submit your request for SMS on your behalf. http://phoneburner.com/sms-form This is in addition to having your business profile completed. If you still haven’t taken that step, you can log into your account and find your Business Profile page here: https://www.phoneburner.com/myaccount/businessprofile/index We know this is a lot, but as the industry and compliance evolves, we are doing what we can to help protect your business.
We are continuing to investigate this issue.
For roughly one hour today from 12:30pm - 1:45pm PT some of our customers experienced lower call quality when making outbound calls. Our team resolved this issue at roughly 1:45pm. We will continue to monitor the situation. We apologize for these issues as we continue to fully restore all of our systems.
We are currently experiencing some instances of lower call quality. We are actively working to resolve this.
The connection issue from this morning appears to be resolved.
We are aware of an issue causing some calls to not connect. We have just implemented a change that should correct for this.
Update - Our team has been working nonstop to improve services and monitor accounts. Read on for updates to Local ID, vPhone and outbound SMS. Numbers - Local ID and vPhone numbers purchased on or before January 25 are in the process of being restored. Please note this process is ongoing and some of your numbers may become available before others. You can check the status of your numbers in your PhoneBurner account. Here are definitions of what those statuses mean: - Active (done & working) - Restore in Progress (in progress) - Pending Restore (in the queue to be restored) - In Review (being vetted by compliance) SMS - SMS now requires you to complete your Business Profile and provide SMS opt-in details. Log into your account, go to settings, and you can find your Business Profile under My Account - https://www.phoneburner.com/myaccount/businessprofile/index Once the profile is complete it will be submitted for compliance review. Once approved, we'll enable your SMS messaging and notify you. We don’t have a timeline for how long approval will take. Thanks for your patience.
For customers who have previously purchased numbers and/or have outbound SMS capability, we have two important updates: Previously Purchased Numbers: Numbers (Local ID and vPhone) purchased on or before January 25 are in the process of being restored. Each account is being individually reviewed before numbers will become available. Once an account is approved, the numbers in your account will gradually activate as they are restored. Note this process is ongoing and some of your numbers may become available before others. Some numbers will begin to be available starting as early as Monday, February 6. Please note this process normally takes much longer, but we are working with our partners to turn this around as quickly as possible. Outbound SMS: A process is actively in place to restore SMS functionality and comply with regulatory compliance for A2P (Application-to-Person) SMS. If you are using SMS in your account, make sure you have completed your Business Profile and provided opt-in details. You should have received an email today with more detailed instructions to start the restoration process. We thank you in advance for your patience while we do proper due diligence to comply with carrier regulations and provide you with the best experience possible.
Number purchasing has been fully restored and purchased numbers will appear on your vPhone or Numbers page.

We want to begin by telling you how truly sorry we are for the service challenges we have faced since last week. This has been an unprecedented time for all of us, and our 80-person team has been working around the clock to fully restore the exceptional services and quality that PhoneBurner is known for. While our outbound functionality has been restored, we've experienced some speed bumps along the way. We are aware that some of our customers had connection issues today, and we are cautiously optimistic that all outbound dialing issues have been resolved. Here's where everything currently stands: Fully Restored: - Outbound - fully restored with the acknowledgement things may not be perfect yet Will be restored tomorrow by close of business: - Number purchasing - Inbound calls - Inbound SMS Will be restored gradually over the next several days: - Existing Local ID & vPhone numbers - Outbound SMS We will follow up tomorrow with additional updates. We continue to be thankful to all of our loyal customers. Your notes of support and gratitude have given us strength and motivation. Thank you.

On Tuesday afternoon, our company was made aware of a Public Notice posted by the FCC to all US-Based voice providers. As part of that notice, PhoneBurner was listed as one of the service providers for a company placing alleged illegal calls. The notice was clear that calls originating from our platform, by the customer named in the Notice, were to be suspended within a prescribed timeline. We had no advance notice of this Public Notice and, to our knowledge, neither did our carrier partners. As you have experienced, some of our carrier partners have interpreted the Public Notice to include all PhoneBurner traffic. In our opinion, this clearly was not the intent of the Public Notice by the FCC. We are working aggressively to get our services restored, and there are a few material updates to provide you. First, we have retained legal counsel that specializes in working with the FCC. Second, our legal counsel had meetings this morning with the FCC on our behalf. We believe that the interpretation of that meeting was consistent with the Public Notice. Simply put: carriers were asked to remove one company’s traffic and not all PhoneBurner call traffic. Third, our legal counsel, in partnership with the FCC and PhoneBurner, is identifying a series of modest and near-term steps that can be taken to help us reactivate our outbound dialing services. This is the most important step. Fourth, to help appropriately set expectations, service could be restored in the next few hours to the next few days depending on some of the factors described above. We will share more information regarding timing of service restoration with you as soon as we have it. Our teams are working around the clock on this, and service restoration is our top priority. Thank you for your trust in PhoneBurner. Please know we are doing all that we can to reactivate our outbound dialing services. Sincerely, Team PhoneBurner
Our system is currently down due to upstream telephone carrier issues. As you may be aware, the FCC issued a Public Notice on Tuesday, January 24th where PhoneBurner was named as a service provider for an enterprise who has allegedly made non-compliant calls. Our attorneys are meeting with the FCC and our carrier partners to resolve this issue. Once we have resolved this issue, we will restore service to you as soon as possible. We understand the importance of staying connected and apologize for any disruption this may have caused. We will continue to communicate with you via this page as soon as new information becomes available. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Sincerely, Team PhoneBurner
