How the Free HLR Lookup Works
Format Normalisation
Strips spaces, dashes, brackets and country dials (00). Converts everything to E.164 international format (+CountryCode+Number).
Country Detection
Matches country code prefix against the full ITU-T E.164 database covering 190+ countries and territories worldwide.
Carrier Prefix Analysis
For UAE, India, UK, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Kenya and 10+ more markets, maps the national prefix to known operator number ranges.
Validity & Line Type
Checks ITU-T length rules (7–15 digits), detects mobile vs landline vs toll-free patterns, flags duplicates and test numbers.
- Format validation only — cannot confirm if number is currently active on a network
- Carrier analysis is based on number prefix ranges, not real-time portability data
- No roaming status — live HLR roaming checks require carrier SS7 network access
- Need live HLR? Contact our team for carrier-grade HLR API access
