ADDITIONAL SERVICES:

There are additional important services we offer in conjunction with bulk messaging. This is referred to in the industry as HLR Lookup or Number Context.

HLR stands for Home Location Register, which is a central database that contains details of each mobile phone subscriber that is registered with a particular mobile network. Each SIM card has a unique identifier called IMSI, which is the primary key to an HLR record.

HLR Lookup is a way to determine the home network of a mobile subscriber. HLR is also used to find what country the subscriber is roaming in right now.

Most importantly it can also be used to check if a subscriber is reachable or if the user is absent (i.e. has turned off the phone) or if the number is invalid or permanently closed.

This is quite an important feature which is used by our current business clients at least twice a year to clean up their database of customers and ensure that their customer list is kept up to date and no SMS is sent to or wasted on a number which is no longer valid.
