Landline vs Mobile Lookup
Hey All, Looking for an API or data source that will tell me if numbers are mobile or landline. Bonus if it tells me who the mobile carrier is. I used opencnam years ago but it looks like they've been acquired by Neustar. Any recommendations? Cheers, Chris
Assuming you want porting adjusted results, I believe this would count as NPAC- derived and is thereby restricted to those with an NPAC User Agreement. That doesn't mean you can't get it, it just means you have to go through some hoops and pay some money annually. I imagine there are dozens of services that can do this kind of lookup for you but it may not be real time, and it may not be current data. Even the lookup service provided by NetNumber is coming under fire because they've been giving out porting adjusted data to non-NPAC users. What is your use case?

Hey Calvin, We have customers sending text messages out and are looking to scrub landlines from their lists. I have found a few, pricing seems a bit all over the place. Thanks for the reply. On Tue, Mar 21, 2023 at 10:48?AM Calvin E. <calvine at gmail.com> wrote:

For messaging specifically, you might want to check NetNumber directly, since 10 digit messaging is using Net Number IDs for routing now. That data should be separate from any NPAC concerns. Other services might call it an HLR dip. On Tue, Mar 21, 2023, 07:56 Christopher Aloi <ctaloi at gmail.com> wrote:

Does VoIP count as landline or mobile? I have a bunch of VoIP numbers which get text messages just fine, so long as often buggy systms are willing to send them. R's, John
What kind of volume are we talking about? If this is an "every once in a while" thing for a couple thousand numbers, Twilio probably has the easiest to use API and they will charge you 80% of 1 cent per lookup. https://www.twilio.com/en-us/trusted-activation/pricing/lookup -- Hunter Fuller (they) Router Jockey VBH M-1C +1 256 824 5331 Office of Information Technology The University of Alabama in Huntsville Network Engineering On Tue, Mar 21, 2023 at 9:04?AM Christopher Aloi via VoiceOps <voiceops at voiceops.org> wrote:

Alcazar Networks -- API for LRN or Carrier. You can draw your own conclusions from mobile or landline. https://www.alcazarnetworks.com/data_services_lnp_lrn.php Query Fee Simple $0.00020 Query Fee Full Detail $0.00025 This is more difficult now since there are US mobile carriers (T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon Wireless, US Mobile, etc), then there are MANY US CLECs that offer SMS on their services, then landlines. I'd be pissed if one of my SMS-enabled DIDs stopped working because your customer decided that Neutral Tandem was not a "mobile" CLEC. What is a landline anymore?
