The Number Portability SCOUT service identifies which network a particular mobile phone number (MSISDN) belongs to before routing a voice call. This service is essential for countries where Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is in place.

Mastering number porting information is an increasingly important value source in voice traffic optimization routines.

Number Portability SCOUT uses a unique triple-play sourcing for gathering porting information. The powerful SCOUT master platform consolidates the various data formats and provides a harmonized query/response data format to customer systems. A successful response comprises MNC (Mobile Network Code) and MCC (Mobile Country Code) whereas unsuccessful queries will be answered with a specific error code. The platform also allows configuration of customer specific patterns for ported number data provisioning.

TynTec’s global coverage allows SCOUT providing MNP resolution also for countries without a centralized ported number database, e.g. the UK. The service offers immediate coverage to currently more than 40 countries where MNP is in place with just one single access.

Number Portability SCOUT facilitates cost control by enabling savings through avoidance of call forwarding costs. Furthermore, it removes blended rates on buying and selling side, and therefore strengthens negotiation power with suppliers. By lowering such risks customers can immediately reach significant sales revenue and margin improvements.

Connecting to SCOUT is easy. Simply choose the most convenient protocol such as ENUM, SIP, H.225, INAP or MAP SRI. The SCOUT master platform supports very high throughput (up to 100 queries/sec), matching large carrier requirements.

SCOUT provides voice wholesalers/gateways, VoIP providers, mobile operators and MVNOs various types of network checks for high volumes of phone numbers on a worldwide basis.
