HLR Lookup

Make your campaigns more reliable with

HLR Lookup and EVR

Your database loses up to 30% of its valid contacts every year. Verify numbers and emails before sending and keep your bounce rate below 2%.
Features

Clean up your contact databases with our verification solutions

Contact databases naturally degrade over time due to number changes, line cancellations, and abandoned email addresses. Without regular verification, a portion of every campaign is sent to recipients who will never receive it, which negatively impacts both your sending costs and your sender reputation with carriers and email providers.

Number verification (HLR)

  • Real-time number validation
  • Detection of the associated carrier
  • Roaming status and line type
  • Direct query of mobile carrier registries, without sending test SMS messages

Email verification (EVR)

  • Address format check
  • Domain verification (DNS/MX)
  • Detection of inactive or high-risk addresses
  • Verification via SMTP handshake simulation, without actually delivering an email to the recipient

International & Tech

  • Global coverage, over 200 countries
  • HLR API and EVR API
  • Results in seconds
  • Batch processing for large files, up to tens of thousands of contacts
Platform

An intuitive platform to clean and monitor your contact databases

Launch an HLR or EVR request directly from your dashboard, or integrate verification into your CRM via our API. Track the status of your numbers and emails at a glance.

HLR Lookup (phone numbers)

HLR (Home Location Register) queries mobile operator databases to confirm if a number is active, assigned, and reachable: number validity and status, operator and country of origin, and cost optimization for your SMS campaigns.

EVR (Email Verification)

EVR verifies the validity of an email address before you send your campaign, helping to limit bounces and protect your sender reputation: format checks, domain and DNS record verification, detection of risky addresses, and improved deliverability.

Our solution

Why use the HLR & EVR verification solution from Octopush?

Benefit from a fast, reliable tool to make your SMS and email sends more dependable.

Cut your sending costs from your very next campaign

Every invalid number or inactive email address you send to costs you money with no return. On an unverified database of 10,000 contacts, that is potentially 2,000 to 3,000 sends going nowhere, billed at the same rate as reachable contacts. HLR Lookup and EVR identify those contacts before you send, cutting your cost per campaign directly without reducing your reach among genuinely active contacts. The higher your volume, the bigger the saving.

Protect your sender reputation over time

A high bounce rate does not just hurt one campaign: it degrades your sender score with mobile operators and email providers. Past a certain threshold, your messages are systematically filtered or routed to spam, however good your content. Verifying your databases regularly keeps your bounce rate below the critical threshold and protects the deliverability of all your future campaigns, not just the next one.

Integrated with your CRM or your technical pipeline

The HLR and EVR APIs plug straight into your CRM, your sending tool or your data processing pipeline. Trigger an automatic check on every new incoming contact, before each campaign or at regular intervals, with no manual action. Results are structured and immediately usable by your technical team. For large volumes, batch processing handles tens of thousands of contacts in minutes and returns a cleaned file ready to use.

SMS and email verified from one single interface

Most verification solutions cover only one channel. Octopush lets you verify phone numbers and email addresses in the same account, using the same credits, and gives you a consolidated view of your database's overall quality. A complete clean-up in a single operation, before launching your SMS and email campaigns in parallel, without multiplying tools, exports or subscriptions.
