HLR LOOKUP

 

An HLR Lookup is a query for subscriber information from the Home Location Register of a Mobile Network Operator (MNO). HLR can be described as a database containing context and status information about every mobile phone number in a mobile network. It is the mainstay of subscriber data.

HLR can also be used to recognize the existing network that a mobile number belongs to so as to determine accurate billing, directing SMS or voice calls, and ascertaining whether a mobile number is roaming overseas or deactivated.

This technique is normally used together with SMS Delivery and SMS Billing to check what network you should send the messages to. It can also be used to check if a subscriber is reachable or if the user is absent which indicates that he has turned off the phone.
