Stop paying for misrouted traffic. The MOBITELSMS number portability engine performs real-time Mobile Number Portability (MNP) and Local Number Portability (LNP) lookups before every call and SMS is routed, ensuring traffic always reaches the correct current carrier. Reduce interconnect costs, improve answer rates, and eliminate rejected messages caused by stale routing data.
Number portability lookup is integrated directly into the MOBITELSMS authorization and routing pipeline. Before a dial peer is selected, the platform checks whether the destination number has been ported to a different carrier. For mobile numbers, an HLR query or commercial MNP database resolves the current serving network. For fixed-line US numbers, NPAC LERG data provides the current Local Routing Number (LRN). The result is cached in our high-speed distributed cache (configurable TTL) to minimize latency on repeated queries to the same number. The resolved carrier or LRN is then used to select the optimal termination route — the carrier that actually owns the number today, not the carrier that originally issued it.
Every misrouted call or SMS that bounces back costs interconnect fees and delivery failures. Enable MNP/LNP lookups on any traffic class from the admin portal — no code changes required.
