Sonera Buys Blacklist Alliance and Number Verifier as TCPA Filings Drop

Sonera, formed by the merger of Contact Center Compliance and PureCaller ID, has acquired Blacklist Alliance and Number Verifier. The deal lands the same week TCPA class action filings for July came in at 108, down from 198 in July 2025, and as Oregon pushes the FCC for tighter robocall enforcement.

    TCPA class action filings fell sharply in July, 108 versus 198 a year ago

    Class action litigation filings under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act were down sharply in July 2026 compared to the same month in 2025. July 2026 saw 108 class actions filed, versus 198 in July 2025.

    Why it matters: 108 TCPA class actions filed in July 2026, versus 198 in July 2025, is a real drop in litigation exposure for any business making outbound calls, even if it does not change what compliant dialing requires day to day.

    Sonera acquires Blacklist Alliance and Number Verifier

    Sonera, the company formed by the merger of Contact Center Compliance and PureCaller ID, has purchased Blacklist Alliance and Number Verifier, according to a news release covered by TCPAWorld. The report frames the deal as part of a wider consolidation moving through the compliance and caller ID verification industry.

    Why it matters: When the vendors that run blacklist checks and number verification consolidate under one owner, businesses that rely on those tools for list scrubbing and caller ID checks should expect fewer independent providers to choose from going forward.

    Office Depot lost a TCPA summary judgment motion after arguing points foreclosed by binding case law

    In McGonigle v. Office Depot, 2026 WL 2597936 (S.D. Fla. Aug. 14, 2026), the defense lost its motion for summary judgment in a TCPA class action. The report attributes the loss to the motion including arguments that binding case law had already foreclosed.

    Why it matters: A defense motion built on arguments case law already rejects gives a business no real shot at summary judgment. Any company facing a TCPA claim needs its legal arguments checked against current binding precedent before filing.

    Oregon pushes the FCC for tighter robocall enforcement

    Oregon is pushing the FCC for tighter enforcement against robocalls, according to a report from Z100 Portland.

    Why it matters: Oregon pushing the FCC for tighter robocall enforcement signals more scrutiny is coming for outbound calling programs, on top of the litigation and consolidation moves already happening in the industry.
