BICS is an international communications enabler and wholesale carrier, part of Proximus Global (alongside Telesign and Route Mobile). Its developer portal exposes OAuth2-secured REST APIs at api.bics.com for A2P SMS and OTP delivery, global number provisioning and portability (MyNumbers), call detail records, emergency services, and carrier-grade cloud connectivity. BICS also offers mobile identity capabilities - phone number verification, HLR/reachability lookup, SIM-swap detection and device-location signals for anti-fraud and KYC - as partner and carrier contract products across the Proximus Global network rather than as self-serve endpoints.
