HLR Service
HLR service allows businesses to verify the status of mobile phone numbers and their connection to a mobile network, as well as the location of a caller. They can use this data to perform data cleansing on lists of customer mobile phone numbers or verify whether a customer is on holiday in another country before sending them text communications or authorisation codes.
An HLR is a database that stores information on every mobile phone subscriber in a carrier’s network and updates it in real time. When you send a request via the SS7 mobile signaling network to an HLR, you can retrieve a huge amount of data about any caller in seconds.

Using this data can reduce fraud rates significantly when used with other sophisticated techniques like real-time data enrichment, device fingerprinting and velocity checks. It’s also a key element in the fight against fraudulent account creation on websites, when it is combined with two factor authentication and other KYC techniques.
