# Anti Fraud measures

At Telnyx we care deeply about compliance and protecting our customers as well as the recipients of any traffic originating from our API. 

For this reason we have introduced several new anti-fraud measures, including photo ID verification. By completing such checks, customers will better be able to secure their accounts and remain compliant with relevant local laws.

Maintaining a high standard of compliance also ensures that Telnyx traffic - and therefore Telnyx customers - is trusted by destination carriers and other important industry players.

Today, Telnyx is excited to announce the release of HTTP requests functionality for all of our TeXML users.

The functionality allows users to retrieve required information for the call flow from external systems and makes it possible to send notifications to any REST API.

We recently added local calling services to 14 additional countries–Albania, Argentina, Bosnia And Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Chile, Costa Rica, Georgia, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Panama, Peru, Serbia and Thailand.

Local calling gives calling parties using Telnyx CLIs the ability to guarantee localized CLI. Local calling typically provides increased quality, higher ACD (Average Call Duration) and reduced PDD (Post-dial delay).

You can get started with local calling from Telnyx by [signing in](https://portal.telnyx.com "Mission Control Portal") to your Mission Control Portal account and [purchasing a number](https://portal.telnyx.com/#/app/numbers/search-numbers "Number Search and Order") from any of the 48 markets where we offer this service.

Today we’re excited to launch our new Number Requirements tool in the Mission Control Portal. 

As a global carrier, Telnyx offers customers the ability to purchase or port a wide variety of phone numbers across the globe. Depending on the country and number type, you may be required to provide additional information or documentation for orders to successfully process and phone numbers to activate.

This new tool allows Telnyx users to view the supplemental information or documentation required to activate numbers ahead of time. This will help our customers better plan number ports and orders so they can avoid unforeseen wait times and get communicating quickly. 

Take a look at a quick demo to see how it works:

<div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 53.125%; height: 0;"><iframe src="https://www.loom.com/embed/c31f8fa2b3ef42d9b55b7c4f0ee9ee0a" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;"></iframe></div>

*Note that this tool only retrieves information on numbers in regions that require supplemental information for number porting and ordering. Therefore countries with no requirements for number porting or ordering will return as null in this table.*

*If you have questions about country coverage please [reach out](https://telnyx.com/contact-us "Contact Us") to a member of our sales team.* 


Our new tool will help you understand what is required for you to port or purchase a number in a specific country.
