Australia's telco rules want two authenticators when the caller rings you and one when you ring them ba

What this covers

  • The caller verification ladder: five rungs and what each one actually proves
  • What that prohibition actually binds, and what it does not
  • What Australia's telco rules require — and who they actually bind
  • The Disclosure Line: the rule for what an AI agent may read back
  • How to wire the out-of-band step into an AI voice agent

This is a technical summary. The full guide — with the tables and worked examples — is on our site: *Caller Verification for AI Phone Agents: 5 Rungs*.
