What you can build with carrier data

01

Carrier billing and zero-rating

Offer direct carrier billing, or data-free access to your service, only when the visitor is actually on that operator's network.

02

SIM and phone-number checks

Compare the carrier behind the connection with the operator of the number a user gives you before sending a one-time code.

03

Lighter pages on cellular

Serve smaller media and fewer requests to visitors on mobile networks, and keep the full experience for fixed lines.

04

Traffic by operator

See which carriers your mobile users come from, by country, with no SDK on the device.

05

Promo and sign-up abuse

Spot sign-up farms running on one carrier's ranges and rate-limit by operator rather than by address.

[ 04 — PLANS ]

The carrier object, with the operator’s name, MCC and MNC, is returned on every plan whenever the address belongs to a mobile network.
