About the Telco Lookup Basic API

Know the Number Before You Message It

How the Telco Lookup Basic API works

Security &
Compliance

With strict security controls and reliable verification logic, the Telco Lookup Basic API keeps every check safe at every step.

  • Protected Data Handling: Mobile number details are encrypted in transit and at rest throughout the verification process.
  • Trusted Source Checks: Every result is validated against live telecom records rather than cached or third-hand data.
  • Access Control Measures: Scoped API keys and IP allow-listing ensure only authorised systems can call the endpoint.
  • Full Audit Trail: Every check is logged with a timestamp so compliance reviews can reconstruct any decision.
