HSL will soon be launching a new Network Lookup Facility.  This will enable clients to receive detailed information regarding a mobile number.  The service will provide the following information regarding the number:

• Network to which the subscriber of the mobile number belongs.
• Network to which the mobile number prefix belongs.
• Decomposed mobile number (split into country, network prefix and subscriber number).
• Current location - country only.
• Active subscriber (i.e. number in network HLR).
• Active device (i.e. switched on / off).

The service is expected to be launched within the coming weeks and as such further details regarding the new service will be given in due course.  Until such time, if you have any questions regarding the facility please contact us.

If so, then HSL have the perfect solution...
Virtual SIM (VSIM) Hosting!

Our Virtual SIM Hosting solution is available to Advanced Services clients and is ideal for clients to provide their customers with a local number to send messages to.  The solution allows for a throughput of around 20-50 SMS per second whilst the SIM is virtually hosted on our network.

To use the service, clients would send us the SIM they wish us to host.  The SIM should be from a network which is within our coverage, and additionally, the network sending the SMS to the SIM number must also be within coverage.  The published coverage is an indication of coverage for contract SIMs as opposed to pre-pay SIMs and clients should ensure that the SIM is capable of roaming on a UK network.

For further information regarding the Virtual SIM Hosting solution please contact the HSL Sales team at sales@haysystems.com.
