MNP Lookup

Check the network membership of a mobile phone number

The Mobile Number Portability (MNP) lookup requests the porting status for any international number. This means that it is queried with which network operator the number is currently hosted. The reason behind this is that customers often continue to use their old number when changing network operators and port it to a new operator.

With the help of this Lookup you can optimize the routing for your SMS, but also for calls. This query does not validate a number – please use the HLR query. In return, the MNP query is 50% cheaper than the HLR query with a price of 0.005€ per queried number.
