HLR Lookup
HLR Lookup provides real-time status information for mobile numbers directly from network operators. It supports over 1,300 networks in more than 220 countries, with both an HTTP API and bulk processing. The API can validate numbers in web forms, mobile apps, third-party services, and desktop programs; developer examples are available in JavaScript, Python, Shell, and PHP. Bulk Upload accepts numbers in a range of formats, appends results beside the original data, and lets customers schedule, pause, and monitor batches. A successful lookup uses one credit; invalid mobile numbers and unsupported networks are not charged. New verified accounts receive 200 free credits, and previously processed numbers can be rechecked for free. Credit bundles are one-time purchases, with 2,500 lookups listed at $16.55, paid once. Credits expire 18 months after purchase unless otherwise agreed by email. Landline validation is limited to UK and Ireland numbers. The service is available on the web and through its API.
