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
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 systems remain down as of 11:30 PT Thursday. Ours teams are working with telecom partners around the clock to restore service as soon as possible. As soon as we have an accurate estimate for restoration we will publish immediately.
SERVICE RESTORATION (partial): As of 12:33 AM PT (Friday 1/27) we have resumed our outbound dialing service. We continue to work on SMS, Inbound (vPhone) and Number Purchasing. We'll update status as we make progress.
Thank you for your continued patience. We have identified one call performance issue with our newly restored outbound service that is being actively researched by our operations team. We will provide updates as they become available.
We believe the earlier identified issue as of 8:01 AM PT has been resolved. Our teams continue to monitor our systems, and we believe you should be experiencing normal dial sessions. Thank you for your patience. We will continue to provide updates as needed.
A quick Saturday evening update - outbound dialing was fully restored and stabilized Friday. Whisper/Barge was restored late Friday evening. We anticipate click-to-call will be restored before end of day Monday, if not sooner. SMS, Inbound, and number purchasing is expected to be restored by end of day Wednesday, if not sooner. We'd like to take a moment to thank all of our customers who have reached out to express their support and encouragement recently.
Monday morning update: Outbound dialing continues to be stable and fully operational. Click-to-call was restored as of Sunday evening. SMS, Inbound, and number purchasing are expected to be restored by end of day Wednesday, if not sooner. We truly appreciate your continued support and patience.

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.
Premium features and numbers are in the process of being restored. Updates are available on the following: -Inbound -Number Purchasing -Local IDs -SMS (available starting Friday) For additional instructions on activating these features, please check your email or login to PhoneBurner for in-app notifications that will guide you to a short video.
Quick update on the newly restored number purchasing. We've successfully provisioned hundreds of numbers this morning. However, larger orders are experiencing delays. The orders have all been submitted for processing, and we're working with our number provider to fulfill all outstanding number purchases. As the numbers are fulfilled, they will appear on your vPhone or Local Id numbers page. Please do not submit a duplicate order.
Number purchasing has been fully restored and purchased numbers will appear on your vPhone or Numbers page. A small number of customers are still experiencing dropped audio while using the browser connection to initiate dial sessions. If you are experiencing any issues, we recommend you use your phone to dial in. We are working to resolve this issue and will keep you updated as things progress. Thanks for your continued 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.

Now 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.
