Previous measures:


Introduction of the first anti spam call measures on 1 August 2019

As of August 1st, 2019, the
French Telecom authority Arcep introduced the following regulations to
protect end-users from spam and robo-calls:

To limit the disruptions that robocalls and spam calls cause end
users, in July 2018 Arcep adopted two measures whose implementation was
moved to 1 August 2019:

  1. Active per 08-2019: Forbidding the use of a geographical number
    (starting with 01 to 05) or a multi-purpose number (09) as the caller ID
    for international calls or messages, when no authentication mechanism
    is in place;

  2. Active per 01-2021: Forbidding automated systems that make more
    calls and transmit more calls than they receive from using
    geographical numbers (starting with 01 to 05), mobile numbers (06-07) or
    multi-purpose numbers (09) as their caller ID.

CM.com customers may still be able to make calls to French
destinations (Fixed/Mobile) with a French fixed geographical A-number.
However, as of February 1st 2020, these calls may be blocked. Custom
routing will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
