Carrier & HLR lookup
Confirm a mobile number is live at the carrier.
What it does
Why it matters
An HLR lookup checks a number against the carrier's own database, so you know whether it's active and which network it's on — far more reliable than a format check alone. It returns reachability and network status only, for numbers you're authorised to contact; it does not locate or track a person.
For mobile numbers, an HLR lookup checks the carrier's own database for live status — far more reliable than a format check. It tells you whether a number is active and which network it's on, even after porting.

Frequently asked
What is an HLR lookup?
A query against the carrier's Home Location Register that reveals whether a mobile number is active and its current network.
Why is it better than format checks?
Format only confirms a number looks right; HLR reflects its real status at the carrier, so you avoid dialing dead lines.
Does it work after porting?
Yes — it returns the current carrier even when a number has been ported.
