Industry Use Cases

Instantly provides the original and current network of the phone number.

Our fastest query service designed for CSPs to improve their worldwide routing. Low cost, accurate, low latency, routing data.

Enables Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to enhance their global routing of messages and voice calls via phone number intelligence to reduce costs.

By partnering with Datafon, Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are able to monetise the data they hold.

Leverage intelligence from GSMA to block messages and reduce spam.

Combined with Global Number Range data, this solution enables Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to detect calls and SMS to international premium rate numbers (IPRNs) in real time to prevent Artificially Inflated Traffic (AIT) Fraud.

When billions of messages and calls are routed every day, even marginal inaccuracies in data translate into significant cost and delivery failures. The world’s leading Communication Service Providers and CPaaS platforms rely on Datafon to deliver precise routing data to reduce cost, eliminate routing errors, and maximise delivery rates at scale.

Datafon’s MNP Lookup instantly identifies the original and current network of any mobile number globally – Our fastest query service designed for CSPs to optimise worldwide routing delivered in milliseconds with pinpoint accuracy.

Built by telecom industry experts, our carrier-grade platform is engineered for the most demanding high-volume environments — supporting billions of transactions with sub-5ms response times, geo-redundant infrastructure, high availability and global scale.

Accessible via ENUM and HTTP APIs, the service integrates seamlessly into existing routing stacks without disruption. Whether you’re optimising A2P messaging, voice termination, or OTP delivery, Datafon gives you the accuracy and speed your operations depend on.

Accurate MNP data. Smarter routing. Measurable results.

Bad Phone Data Costs More Than You Think.

Every disconnected number, fake number, and formatting error in your customer database quietly drains your budget — through failed deliveries, wasted campaign spend, and compliance exposure you may not even know you have.

Datafon’s phone number validation service performs live HLR lookups directly through mobile network operators, instantly confirming whether a number is genuine, active and reachable. No guesswork. No stale data records. Just accurate, real-time intelligence on every phone number you hold — across more than 170 countries worldwide.

Whether you’re refreshing a customer database ahead of a campaign, validating numbers at the point of onboarding, or simply keeping your records clean and GDPR-compliant, Datafon fits neatly into your existing processes. A fast, developer-friendly API handles real time number validation at every customer touchpoint, while a simple bulk upload option lets you cleanse and refresh large datasets quickly, without disruption.

The result is a customer database you can genuinely rely on – fewer failed messages, lower costs, better engagement, and the confidence that every communication is reaching a real person.

It all starts with knowing your numbers are real.

Accurate MNP and HLR data is essential for A2P messaging platforms – when you’re sending millions of messages a day — OTPs, banking alerts, delivery updates – getting the routing right isn’t optional. Behind every successful delivery is a routing decision, and that decision is only as good as the number intelligence behind it.

The problem is that mobile numbers don’t stay still. Subscribers switch networks regularly, and number portability means they take their number with them when they do. Without up-to-date MNP data, messages are routed to the wrong operator — generating unnecessary interconnect costs and delivery failures before a single message reaches its destination.

Querying HLR data adds a further layer of precision. By confirming whether a number is active and reachable before traffic is sent, A2P platforms can stop wasting money on numbers that will never engage.

Put HLR and MNP data together and you’ve got everything you need to route smarter, reduce the cost of every delivered message, and boost the delivery rates your enterprise customers depend on.

Routing Intelligence for a More Connected World

A2P messaging is one of the most business-critical communication channels in use today — carrying OTPs, banking alerts, delivery notifications, and more. Getting every message to the right network, reliably and at scale, requires number intelligence you can depend on.

Mobile Number Portability is now implemented in over 100 countries worldwide. Without real-time MNP data, messages are directed to the wrong network operator — generating failed deliveries, unnecessary interconnect costs, and a poor customer experience.

Datafon number intelligence gives Communication Service Providers and A2P messaging platforms the routing accuracy they need to reduce cost, improve delivery rates, and keep traffic flowing reliably — at any volume, anywhere in the world.
