Telnyx is excited to announce the release of Answering Machine Detection (AMD) and Premium AMD Support for TeXML users. 

AMD can be enabled for all outbound TeXML calls using the [https://api.telnyx.com/v2/texml/calls/](https://api.telnyx.com/v2/texml/calls/ "TeXML endpoint") endpoint. 

Telnyx users can enable AMD for outbound calls with TeXML in two ways:
1. __Synchronous mode:__ In this case, the TeXML instructions are not executed until the results of the AMD process are provided in the status callback. The new instructions can be sent back as a response to be processed by the TeXML engine. 
2. __Asynchronous mode:__ Here, the TeXML instructions are processed in parallel to the AMD process. The results of the AMD analysis are being provided in the AsyncAmdStatusCallback callback. 

This feature will allow Telnyx users to control the flow of TeXML calls depending on the outcome of AMD results - increasing the efficiency of your outbound contact center. 

Users can test AMD support for TeXML by following our [developer documentation](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/voice/programmable-voice/texml-answering-machine). If you are interested in learning more about TeXML, [reach out](https://telnyx.com/contact-us "Contact Us") to our team of experts.

Telnyx Wireless customers now have more control over data limiting on SIM cards, with new options to __set data usage notifications on SIM cards__, in addition to existing [data limit](https://telnyx.com/release-notes/sim-card-data-limits) functionality.

Customers can define a data usage threshold for any of their SIM cards, and send emails to any address associated with their Telnyx account when the SIM reaches the data usage threshold. SIM cards will continue to function as normal when this data usage threshold is reached. Customers can separately configure a data limit for each SIM card to automatically deactivate a SIM card when it has used a certain amount of data in a given month.

Data Usage Notifications can be configured from the [SIM card settings menu in the Mission Control Portal](https://portal.telnyx.com/#/app/wireless/sim-cards). Customers can learn more about notifications in our [support knowledge base](https://support.telnyx.com/en/articles/4277896-notification-settings).

We are excited to announce that [Google Verified Calls](https://blog.google/products/android/say-hello-safer-phone-calls/ "Google Verified Calls") is now available to Telnyx customers via our API, so Telnyx users can get started with verified calling. By adding this functionality to our voice products, we hope to bring Verified Calls to even more of our users. 

## What is Google Verified Calls?

Google Verified Calls is a way for businesses to display their business name, logo, and reason for calling on an end-users Android device. A verification symbol to show the call has been verified by Google further authenticates the call a business makes, and increases the trust of end users.

Google Verified Calling builds user trust, so more of your calls are answered. Verified Calls can also increase the ROI of marketing campaigns and call center efficiency by letting your users know it's your brand who is calling them. 

## How do I get started with Google Verified Calls from Telnyx?

You can get started with Google Verified Calls by [reaching out](https://telnyx.com/contact-us "Contact Us") to a member of our sales team. If you have more questions about Google Verified Calls [check out our FAQs](https://support.telnyx.com/en/articles/5941652-google-verified-calls-faq "FAQs Google Verified Calls and Telnyx").

There are two broad classes of user data:

- __Data at rest__ - data that is not actively moving from device to device or network to network, such as data stored or archived in a database.
- __Data in transit__ - data actively moving from one location to another such as across the internet or through a private network.

Users can log into their Mission Control Portal and make a one-time choice of where they want their Call Detail Records (CDRs) and Message Detail Records (MDRs) at-rest to be stored. All existing users are defaulted to the US, however, you are allowed to change your preference once, at which point we will migrate your data to that region over the span of 1-2 weeks. This will affect the location that the CDRs and MDRs are stored and pulled from when using the Detail Request and Detail Record Search features.

__Data currently included:__ Detail Records (data at rest) for the following products: 

- Messaging
- Voice
- Call Control
- Call Recording
- WebRTC 
- Fax

This includes all of the call and messaging detail records that are stored in our databases that feed into the Detail Requests (CSV reporting) and Detail Record Search (Elasticsearch API).

To enable the data locality feature for your account, [contact us](https://telnyx.com/contact-us "Contact Telnyx").

__What’s next__: Expanded detail record types, including Wireless and Call Recording Files.

[SHAKEN/STIR](https://telnyx.com/resources/shaken-stir-explained "SHAKEN/STIR") is a technology standard developed by industry experts to combat the rise in fraudulent robocalls and illegal phone number spoofing. The framework went live in the United States on June 30th, 2021. 

Our regulatory teams at Telnyx have worked with the Canadian regulatory bodies- the CRTC and CST-GA- to broaden access to critical infrastructure within Canadian telecommunications. 

As a platform that advocates the removal of middlemen wherever possible, Telnyx is thrilled to be a part of the expansion, redistribution, and digitization of telecommunications capabilities currently taking place in Canada.

Telnyx customers with Canadian CLI’s will see no change in their service. To find out more about SHAKEN/STIR and how Telnyx is involved, take a look at our [Resource Center](https://telnyx.com/resources).

Today, Telnyx is excited to introduce a new section in the Mission Control Portal where our customers can add their allowed IP addresses to their accounts to ensure robust and secure communications. 

Telnyx customers can now add their IP address as either:

- Single IP address
- CIDR blocks. 

From the new Allowed IPs tab in Mission Control, portal users are able to view:

- IP addresses that have been added to their allowed list
- IP addresses that are waiting to be added to the allowed list 
- when the allowed IPs were added, and
- whether the allowed IPs were added through the Mission Control Portal or an internal system. 

Users will be able to filter the list of allowed IP addresses by __source__, __status__, and __IPs__. 

Allow-listing user IP addresses will help to minimize disruption to services on our network. Telnyx customers can add IP addresses in the portal by signing in, and navigating to the __Allowed IPs__ tab on the left-hand menu. Users can also navigate to our developer documentation for guides on how to add [Allowed IP addresses](https://developers.telnyx.com/api/netapps/cloudflare-ip-list-sync/list-access-ip-addresses) and [Allowed IP ranges](https://developers.telnyx.com/api/netapps/cloudflare-ip-list-sync/list-access-ip-ranges) via API.

If you have any questions, please reach out to a member of our team via the chat in the lower right-hand corner of your [Mission Control Portal](https://portal.telnyx.com/ "Mission Control Portal").

You can now send webhooks to your applications to notify them when one of your SIM cards changes status. This adds more visibility into your SIM behavior, so your applications can know when any of your SIMs are enabled, disabled, or on standby. This functionality is especially useful in knowing when one of your standby SIMs has been activated via [usage-based activation](https://telnyx.com/release-notes/usage-based-activation).

You can configure SIM Card Status Change notifications by adding a new setting in the [notifications section of your Mission Control Portal](https://portal.telnyx.com/#/app/account/notifications/settings), or find out more about notifications in our [support knowledge base](https://support.telnyx.com/en/articles/4277896-notification-settings).
