1. A method for providing authenticated caller information for voicemail, the method comprising:
receiving, by a terminating telephony service provider system, a request to connect a telephone call, the request comprising a session initiation protocol (SIP) identity header, wherein:
the telephone call is mapped to an originating telephone number and was originated by a calling party;
performing, by the terminating telephony service provider system, a verification based on the SIP identity header;
routing, by the terminating telephony service provider system, the telephone call to a voicemail system;
creating, by the terminating telephony service provider system, a voicemail based on audio received from the calling party via the telephone call;
storing, by the terminating telephony service provider system, information from the SIP header mapped with a voicemail; and
outputting, by the terminating telephony service provider system to a called party user equipment (UE), an indication of the voicemail with a graphical indication of the verification based on the SIP identity header, wherein:
the graphical indication of the verification indicates the telephone call from which the voicemail was created was partially verified; and
the telephone call being partially verified indicates that the terminating telephony service provider system has authenticated a call origination but did not verify the calling party is authorized to use the originating telephone number.
