Ever since consumers started to port mobile numbers in ever increasing volumes, service providers have found it ineffective to use the default allocated number range to ascertain the current mobile carrier.

For example a mobile number may have been originally allocated to Telstra, but has since been ported to Optus and then to Vodafone.

Mobile carriers typically charge less to deliver traffic on their own network and a premium to deliver to other mobile carrier networks.

Thus service providers can reduce their total cost of delivering traffic (voice & SMS) by ascertaining the correct mobile carrier via the Lookup Service.

Key aspects of the service are:

• simple http lookup (see API)
• no contractual term
• minimal set-up fee
• no minimum volumes
• 99.9% availability across redundant sites
• capacity for 50 million lookups per month
• 1,000 lookups per second peak-load
