First Orion, a leading provider of branded communications solutions, announced a new agreement with Boost Mobile to deliver INFORM® Branded Calling to Boost Mobile subscribers. Under this carrier agreement, subscribers will see a business’s display name on incoming calls, allowing customization of up to 32 characters to help build trust in the call, increase answer rates, and enhance the business’s brand awareness.
The implementation of INFORM® Branded Calling enables businesses to present their name on the caller ID screen when calling customers, providing immediate recognition. This helps consumers make informed decisions about whether to answer the call, reducing the likelihood of ignored calls from unknown numbers. For businesses, this means higher answer rates and stronger brand engagement.
This partnership is significant as it extends First Orion's branded calling technology to Boost Mobile's subscriber base, which includes millions of users across the United States. Boost Mobile, a prepaid wireless brand under Dish Network, has a substantial market presence, particularly among value-conscious consumers. By integrating First Orion's solution, Boost Mobile enhances its service offering by addressing one of the most common consumer pain points: unknown callers.
First Orion's INFORM® solution is already integrated into the largest U.S. mobile carriers, and this new agreement with Boost Mobile further expands its reach. The company's platform not only provides branded calling but also includes advanced analytics to optimize call programs and real-time fraud detection to protect customers.

The broader implication of this announcement is the continued shift toward transparency in telecommunications. As robocalls and spam calls remain a major nuisance, branded calling solutions offer a way for legitimate businesses to stand out and rebuild trust with consumers. For carriers like Boost Mobile, offering such features can improve customer satisfaction and reduce churn. For businesses, the ability to display their name can lead to higher engagement and better return on investment for outbound calling campaigns.
First Orion's partnership with Boost Mobile underscores the growing demand for branded communication solutions. As more carriers adopt similar technologies, the landscape of phone calls is likely to evolve, making it easier for consumers to identify and trust incoming calls from known entities.
