Version	1.1.1
Release date	27/06/2024
Status	Active
Description	Indicates if an MSISDN is managed by an MVNO on the Vodafone Network. This is a Vodafone API as currently there is no GSMA standard defined.

Either:
- An Aggregator wants to check if Vodafone can do a KYC check before they make the request to the Match API; or
- A customer called the Match API first, and they didn't receive a match. They want to call the MVNO Discovery API to check why they didn’t receive a match to their request. For example, the reason might be because the Subscriber belongs to a MVNO rather than Vodafone.
The Service Provider sends the MSISDN to the MVNO Discovery API.
The MVNO Discovery API checks in real-time whether the phone number is managed by an MVNO on the Vodafone Network.
The API responds with True/False (400 error) as to whether the number is currently managed by an MVNO on the Vodafone network .
The customer can use this information to decide whether to make a subsequent request to the Match API. For example: If the response was that the MSISDN belonged to an MVNO, they wouldn't make that request, because they know Vodafone doesn't have the Subscriber details.

Bearer Authentication is required to perform the request. See the Additional Information page for more information.
