The Voice Network Query service identifies which network a particular mobile phone number (MSISDN) belongs to before routing a voice call. This service is essential in countries where Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is in place.
By using Voice Network Query service, voice wholesalers and gateways, VOIP gateway providers, mobile operators, MVNOs, messaging aggregators and resellers can optimize their voice routing and avoid cost and effort of voice calls interrupted due to MNP.
High Performance Validation of Mobile Phone Numbers
Because of its direct access into SS7/C7, TynTec is able to perform a real-time network check for high volumes of phone numbers, as well as providing mobile network lookup service on a worldwide basis. This gives customers a high level of accuracy.
Voice Network Query provides a detailed response with:
- MNC (Mobile Network Code)
- MCC (Mobile Country Code)
- Modified search algorithm, which provides detailed information about a queried MSISDN even if the mobile handset is switched off.
MNP Check Before Routing Voice Calls
Customers looking for addressing issues such as quality problems or lack of efficiency when routing voice calls can diminish the complexity of Mobile Number Portability by finding out the right network of ported numbers before routing the calls. By using Voice Network Query, customers can avoid forwarding charges / termination fees.
Additionally, this service also facilitates the improvement of ratios such as ASR (Answer Seizure Ratio), which measures the ratio of successfully connected calls to attempted calls. ASR is a network quality assessment defined by ITU SG2 Recommendation. By checking the existence and/or network a mobile number belongs to before routing the call can significantly improve the ASR ratio.
