Further Information:
This service works by querying the mobile network's Home Location Register (HLR) for information about each mobile number. The following information may be available dependent on customer requirements:
- The country and mobile network name that the number currently belongs to.
- The Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC) for the current network.
- An indication as to whether the number has been ported from one network to another.
- The name of the original network that a mobile number belonged to when it was first registered.
- Identification of invalid numbers due to the number never being registered or the number being deactivated (Unknown Subscriber).
- Identification of temporary errors that would prevent immediate SMS delivery (e.g. Absent Subscriber that arises if the mobile phone is turned off or out of coverage for an extended period of time).
- Identification of the current network even if a temporary error (such as absent subscriber) is returned.
- The MSC address that currently serves the mobile number, useful for identifying numbers roaming in another country. The foreign network that the number is logged onto can also be identified using this data.
Please note: Accurate HLR data cannot be retrieved for mobile numbers in Brazil, Canada and the USA so number validation is not possible. Regularly updated Mobile Number Portability (MNP) databases are queried instead of performing HLR queries for these 3 countries purely for the purposes of network identification.
