    The deadline for STIR/SHAKEN certification is today

    T-Mobile announced on Wednesday that it is fully compliant with the
    FCC's new anti-spoofing protocol, telling the FCC that its now
    certifying that calls from its network are protected against
    impersonation by scam callers using the STIR/SHAKEN protocol.

    Verizon also announced that it's verifying that the number that shows
    up on your caller ID is actually the number that's calling you using
    the same STIR/SHAKEN protocol. The two major carriers announcing their
    progress on the same day isn't a coincidence -- Wednesday, June 30th,
    is the deadline the FCC set for major carriers to implement
    STIR/SHAKEN. An AT&T spokesperson told The Verge that the carrier also
    met the deadline, as it filed on the 29th, and said that "all LTE and
    5G calls originating on [its] wireless network are STIR/SHAKEN
    compliant."
