Available in DE and UK. - **Active Subscriber** — Confirms whether an MSISDN is currently an active Vodafone subscriber. Available in UK. - **Age Verify** — Network-based age-assurance lookup that returns whether the subscriber behind a given MSISDN is above a configured age threshold, without revealing the underlying date of birth. - **Call Divert** — Indicates whether call forwarding is currently active on the target number — a useful signal for fraud-detection flows where divert-to- attacker is a common attack vector. - **Home Network Check** — Returns whether a subscriber is currently on their home network or roaming — useful for fraud-scoring and conditional flows that adjust behaviour based on roaming status. - **MVNO Discovery** — Resolves the underlying MVNO/host-network for a given mobile number so that callers can route their integration to the correct operator API endpoint. - **Number Lookup** — HLR-style lookup returning the operator, country, portability status, and basic line-type metadata for a given E.164 mobile number. - **Number Recycle** — Vodafone's pre-CAMARA Number Recycling lookup, retained alongside the CAMARA-aligned variant for existing integrations. - **Tenure** — Returns how long the current subscriber has held the MSISDN — short tenure is a strong signal in fraud-scoring models for newly-acquired numbers used in account takeovers. - **Brand Registration** — Registers a sender brand for A2P SMS and Verified Caller flows so that consumer handsets display branded sender identity rather than a raw short-code or number.
