Numerical intelligence · for telecom
Real-time MSISDN intelligence for routing, fraud prevention and number validation. Two products, one input: a phone number.
What we do
num-iD supercharges telecom with real-time data and advanced routing. We sit between your switching infrastructure and the world's mobile networks, telling you exactly where any number is, who owns it today, and whether it's reachable right now.
Carriers, MNVOs, fintech, and messaging aggregators use us to enhance security, crush fraud, and route traffic to the right operator — no matter the country, no matter the volume.
Why num-iD
01 Sub-second response from edge PoPs. HTTP/2 + keep-alive, designed to keep your switching latency budget intact.
02 1000+ requests per second sustained per endpoint. No queueing, no degradation under burst traffic.
03 MNP and HLR data from 100+ countries, sourced directly from regulators and carriers. Daily refresh, no stale records.
04 Authoritative ownership for any number — not just the original allocation. 40%+ of mobile numbers worldwide have been ported.
Two products
A single HTTPS call against a global PoP, sub-second response. Pick the product by the question you need answered.
Mobile Number Portability data tells you the current network provider of any mobile number, including ported numbers. Numbering ranges alone get it wrong for 40%+ of mobile traffic.
A live HLR Lookup queries the actual mobile network in real time. You get back not just routing data, but reachability — is the SIM registered, where is it roaming, can it receive messages now.
How it works
One GET request to your nearest PoP. HTTPS, keep-alive, HTTP/2. Authenticated by source IP.
Sub-second response with the normalized fields you need. No parsing of supplier-specific formats.
Use the operator code, MCC/MNC and release code to make your downstream decision: deliver, reject, fall back.
# Single GET, IP-authenticated curl -s "https://api.num-id.com/query/34630081191?service=mnp" \ -H "Accept: application/json" # Response (HTTP 201) { "tn": "34630081191", "oc": "ES", "mcc": "214", "mnc": "07", "on": "TELEFÓNICA MÓVILES ESPAÑA", "od": "87240034", "nt": "wireless", "pdi": true, "pi": false, "rc": "1-00" }
