Frequently Asked Questions

HLR means Home Location Register. It is a central global database of all the cellphone subscribers registered with a particular mobile network. Mobile providers use it to verify the authenticity of a phone call when it is registered with a transmitter, either on someone’s home network or when someone is using the phone for roaming abroad.

It is an online general database that contains all information about mobile lines of subscribers that are authorized to use the GSM.

This service allows you to check the existence and validity of a mobile line in real-time, the roaming status of a mobile number, or the type of phone number.

It is offered to users to allow them to control how updated their databases are and thus reduce the probability of failures in their SMS marketing campaigns.
