Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is a set of technologies and agreements and a protocol that enables subscribers to keep their mobile phone number when switching carriers.

MNP is great news for phone users but costly and complicated for telecoms, SMS aggregators, mobile payment, mobile top-up companies, VoIP providers, and all other businesses whose use cases, such as least-cost routing and correct SMS or voice termination, heavily rely on being able to exactly pinpoint the mobile network operator (MNO) a subscriber's mobile phone number belongs to.

With MNP implemented in an increasing number of countries all over the world, it is not longer possible to determine the MCCMNC (network identifier) by simply inspecting a mobile phone number and mapping it against a numbering plan. Our MNP Lookups are a service that gets around this obstacle.

MNP Lookups provide a cost-effective alternative to HLR lookup queries if your primary goal is to extract the current MCCMNC of a given mobile phone number and pinpoint the original and current networks.

Our platform can be accessed via convenient web interfaces or our developer friendly MNP API.
