Mobile Number Portability API
Resolve the network a number is actually on today from the national portability database — including numbers a live HLR query cannot reach.
Portability, without an SS7 dip
The current operator behind a number, at half an HLR lookup
Current operator
The network the number is on now, not the block it was allocated from.
Porting history
Whether the number was ported and which operator it left.
Works when HLR cannot
Landlines, switched-off handsets and non-GSM numbers still resolve.
Cheaper than HLR
A database read rather than a live network query: 5 credits against 10.
