The award marks the second consecutive year that ARMOR® technology has been recognized by the SAMMY program, building on a 2025 win that highlighted the platform's impact on call deliverability and answer rate performance within the PhoneBurner platform.
This year's nomination was submitted under the ARMOR® brand directly, reflecting the service's evolution into a standalone, technology-agnostic platform serving organizations well beyond its origins within the PhoneBurner ecosystem.
"Call deliverability has become one of the most important and least understood performance drivers for outbound teams," said Chris Sorensen, CEO of ARMOR Solutions and PhoneBurner. "This recognition validates what our clients and our team experience every day: that protecting number reputation isn't optional anymore. It's foundational to how businesses connect."
Since launching in June 2024, the ARMOR® service has surpassed 1,000 clients and cleared more than 200,000 spam flags across Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. The platform combines call deliverability analytics, real-subscriber testing, proactive monitoring, and direct carrier remediation in one managed service, giving organizations visibility into why calls are connecting, underperforming, or being mislabeled.

In April 2026, ARMOR® VP Rick Moulton accepted an invitation to join the USTelecom Blocking and Labeling Working Group, the cross-industry body developing best practices around call flagging, blocking, and redress. Participants include AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Comcast, Lumen, and other major carriers and analytics engines. The invitation further reflects ARMOR's growing role in shaping how the industry approaches call deliverability.
