Frequently asked questions
Why is grey-market trading of number portability data a problem?
Number portability data contains information about operators and their customers, classified as personal data. This is an operator-owned asset and processing it without authorization is illegal.
Grey-market traders profit from personal data breaches and may abuse the SS7 network with HLR lookups. At the same time, they present themselves as legitimate businesses claiming to contribute to fraud prevention.
Although they offer value to their customers, their business is based on stolen data.
Who can access data through the Number Lookup Gateway?
Only third parties that are explicitly accepted and onboarded (e.g., carriers, aggregators and messaging companies) can access the Number Lookup Gateway.
How do operators earn from the Number Lookup Gateway?
