What is HLR Lookups?
HLR Lookups is a mobile number intelligence platform that queries the SS7 signaling network to return live connectivity, validity, portability and roaming data for phone numbers. Alongside HLR lookups it offers MNP lookups from national numbering plan databases and NT lookups that classify numbers as mobile, landline or VoIP.
Numbers can be submitted through the Enterprise Web Client, file upload, a REST API (synchronous or asynchronous with callbacks) or SDKs for PHP, NodeJS and Ruby. Results come back as JSON, HTML, PDF or CSV, at up to 5k results per second, with analytics reports on subscriber status, portability, roaming and MCCMNC. Coverage spans more than 200 countries.
It fits SMS aggregators, VoIP providers, MVNOs, marketers cleaning contact lists and payment companies verifying numbers for fraud prevention. Pricing is prepaid per lookup in EUR with volume discounts, and new accounts get 100 free lookups.
