Number Lookup For Vodafone1.1.1

  • UK

Number Lookup Overview

Number Lookup is an API for identifying whether Vodafone is the current manager/owner of an MSISDN. It enables Service Providers to identify which MNO is currently managing the MSISDN. This is needed because some countries do not have a central number portability service.  

It can be used in conjunction with Vodafone's Call Divert API. After the Number Lookup API responds with ' true' ( i.e. the number belongs to Vodafone network ), you can then use the Call Divert API to get more information about the MSISDN.

Key Features

  • Seamless verification of the mobile number in real-time 
  • If the mobile number is owned by Vodafone or an MVNOs on Vodafone, it returns a 'true' response.
  • If the mobile number is NOT owned by Vodafone or an MVNOs on Vodafone, it returns a '400' error code.  

How it works

  1. A Service Provider wants to check whether Vodafone is the current manager/owner of an MSISDN.
  2. The Service Provider sends the phone number to the Number Lookup API.
  3. The Number Lookup API checks in real-time whether the phone number is owned or managed by Vodafone.
  4. The API responds with True/False (400 error) as to whether the MSISDN is owned or managed by Vodafone.

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