Numerical intelligence
for telecom.
Identify the network. Verify the line. Globally.
Who we are
Built for telecom traffic at global scale.
num-iD provides real-time number intelligence and routing data to the world's leading telecom operators, messaging hubs and identity platforms. Independent, focused on telecom data only, and engineered for throughput.
What we do
We turn a phone number
into a routing decision.
MSISDN in
A single phone number, any country, any format.
num-iD API
Global PoPs, sub-second, authenticated by IP.
Decision out
Normalized JSON: network, status, routing fields.
Who uses us
The data layer behind global
routing and verification.
- Carriers & interconnect providersRoute voice and SMS to the correct terminating network.
- A2P messaging hubsValidate destinations before send; protect deliverability KPIs.
- MNOs and MVNOsIdentify portability and roaming context for traffic decisions.
- CPaaS and voice platformsLower PDD, raise ASR — at scale.
- Contact centersClean lists before dial-out; cut wasted agent capacity.
- Fintech and ID&V providersVerify the line during sign-up and KYC; stop ATO fraud.
The problem
Routing by numbering range
is wrong for 40%+ of traffic.
Status quo
Numbering range data tells you which operator was originally assigned a number — by the regulator, years ago.
Reality: a phone number doesn't tell you which network it actually lives on today. 40%+ of mobile numbers worldwide have been ported.
What breaks
- SMS delivered to the wrong network — cross-network surcharges
- Voice routed inefficiently — higher PDD, lower ASR
- OTPs lost to invalid or disconnected lines — fraud and churn
- Failed deliveries still billed at full cost
- Marketing campaigns sent to dead numbers
Our approach
One input. Two answers.
A single HTTPS endpoint, normalized JSON, sub-second. One MSISDN goes in, full routing intelligence comes back.
Identify MNP
Which network owns this number today.
Authoritative network ownership for any MSISDN, accounting for portability. Returns operator code, MCC/MNC, ported indicator, release code — everything you need to route correctly.
Verify HLR
Is this number alive right now.
Live-network reachability against the real mobile network. Returns subscriber status, roaming context, current network — everything you need to validate before sending.
Real numbers · sample scenario
ROI for a high-volume
A2P operation.
- ~17% delivery failure (typical for high-cost mixed destinations)
- 1.7M failed SMS / month
- Failed sends still billed at full cost
- 14% identified as inactive before send
- 1.4M SMS not sent → $140,000 saved
- Cost of pre-validation: $0.0008 × 10M = $8,000
Sample scenario based on industry benchmarks. Plus secondary gains: deliverability metrics, lower fraud, regulatory compliance.
Why num-iD
Built for telecom traffic at global scale.
Speed
Sub-second response from edge PoPs. HTTP/2 + keep-alive, designed to keep your switching latency budget intact.
Coverage
MNP and HLR data from 100+ countries, sourced directly from regulators and carriers. Daily refresh, no stale records.
Accuracy
Authoritative ownership for any number — not just the original allocation. 40%+ of mobile numbers worldwide have been ported.
Scale
1000+ requests per second sustained per customer endpoint. Measured continuously in production, not in lab conditions.
How we deliver
Production-grade in hours, not weeks.
- Single GET endpoint — no SDK to import, no callbacks to wire
- Auth by source IP — zero credentials in your code
- Global PoPs — request lands at the nearest edge
- HTTP/2 + keep-alive — sustained 1000+ req/s per endpoint
- 99.95% SLA — backed by real-time monitoring
- Integration in <1 day for most stacks
