HLR-lookup (Network Query)
It is possible to run a Network Query on the mobile network. This service is called 'Network Lookup Service' or 'HLR lookup'. With an HLR Lookup we can retrieve operator information of a mobile number. An HLR Lookup could be useful to retrieve which operator serves a ported mobile number. This information can then be used to select the cheapest SMS route.
Post your HLR request
Verstuur de volgende aanvraag:

Warning! HLR does not accept bulk-requests (numbers seperated by comma).
The reference parameter is the reference to the recipient, which we will return when sending the hlr report. You can setup the HLR-report URL at your settings page.
