Abstract
One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for call dialing protection with called party authentication are provided. An application server receives a call initiation request to establish a communication call session between user equipment and a recipient number.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, by an application server of a communication network from a dialer app of user equipment, a call initiation request to establish a communication call session between the user equipment and a recipient number;
- identifying information associated with the recipient number, wherein the information indicates whether the recipient number is a known suspicious actor or not;
- and
- providing, through the user equipment before establishing the communication call session, the information and an option to proceed or cancel with establishing the communication call session to call the recipient number.
A system, comprising:
- one or more processors configured for executing instructions to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by an application server of a communication network from a dialer app of user equipment, a call initiation request to establish a communication call session between the user equipment and a recipient number;
- identifying information associated with the recipient number, wherein the information indicates whether the recipient number is a known suspicious actor or not;
- and
- providing, through the user equipment before establishing the communication call session, the information and an option to proceed or cancel with establishing the communication call session to call the recipient number.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed facilitate performance of operations comprising:
- receiving, by an application server of a communication network from a dialer app of user equipment, a call initiation request to establish a communication call session between the user equipment and a recipient number;
- identifying information associated with the recipient number, wherein the information indicates whether the recipient number is a known suspicious actor or not;
- and
- providing, through the user equipment before establishing the communication call session, the information and an option to proceed or cancel with establishing the communication call session to call the recipient number.
