When you send a lot of messages, it can be difficult to know if all subscriptions are active. With Spirius's Network Lookup service, you can find out if the number has a subscriber and which network a specific subscription belongs to.
Network Lookup provides the operator's MCCMNC network code or the operator's SPID code from SNPAC (only applies to Sweden). This is useful because a large portion of all mobile numbers are ported, meaning the number has moved between operators, and you can no longer determine network affiliation from the phone number itself.
You can access Network Lookup via Spirius API.
Sweden gives the Service Provider Identity code (SPID) from the Swedish SNPAC register (Swedish Number Portability Administration Centre AB).
Basic provides the network code (MCCMNC) by HLR lookup and also gives you the status of the subscription.

Advanced provides both operator code (SPID), the network code (MCCMNC) and the status of the subscription.
