How phone numbers define us – a conversation with iconectiv’s Mike O’Brien

Tune in as Transforma Insights’ Jim Morrish talks to Mike O’Brien, the executive vice president of business development at iconectiv, to discuss the changing role of the phone number as key to our identity. The phone number has become of greater importance in recent years as physical addresses become decoupled from the actual locations that people work in and email addresses change. The phone number, because it stays with us and stays the same, is now at centre of an individual’s digital identity enabling not only communication, but ID verification. This makes the phone number a power tool as an early indicator of fraud or identity theft and it presents operators with an opportunity to support customers and partners with number-related services.
