Cross-border businesses such as WhatsApp, SMS marketing, international customer service, and overseas advertising are all inseparable from determining the source of mobile phone numbers. Especially in the European and American markets, the distribution of operators is complex. Different countries, different brands, and different number segments may affect the success rate and cost control of message delivery. Therefore, understanding what European and American operators are and mastering the identification method of mobile phone number ownership are the basic actions for enterprises to carry out international communications and accurately screen numbers.
Overview of mainstream European and American operators
In the European and American markets, the operator system is based on countries, but there are also phenomena of multinational group operations. Representative operators in North America are:
USA: AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile US
Canada: Rogers, Bell, Telus
Major operators in Europe include:
Germany: Deutsche Telekom (T-Mobile DE), Vodafone, O2
France: Orange, Bouygues Telecom, SFR
U.K: Vodafone UK, EE, O2 UK, Three
Spain: Movistar (Telefonica), Vodafone ES, Orange Spain
Each operator has different number segment resources and technical network support, and has different performance in information transmission speed, reliability, and anti-spam strategies.
Number segment identification methods of different operators
How to identify these operators? The core is to look at the number segment. International phone numbers are provided byIt consists of "country code + operator number segment + user number". Take the UK as an example:
+44 is the British country code, and the number ranges commonly used by operators include
Vodafone UK： 7510, 7512, 7520
O2 UK: 7450, 7460
EE: 7700, 7750
You can initially determine the operator by looking at the first few digits of the number (usually the first three to five digits).
This identification method can handle a small amount of numbers manually, but when faced with hundreds of thousands of mobile phone numbers, manual table lookup can no longer meet efficiency requirements.
Why do you need to identify European and American operators?
When companies do overseas marketing or customer communication, identifying the operator behind the mobile phone number has the following important purposes:
The first is to improve the delivery success rate. Different operators have differences in spam identification, anti-blocking mechanisms, and communication networks. After understanding the attribution situation, you can choose a more appropriate channel.
The second is to optimize the cost structure. Some carriers charge more for international text messages, and identifying them can help you avoid higher-cost lines.
The third is to manage customers in layers. Targeting campaigns can be conducted for users of specific operators, such as targeting onlyT-Mobile users launch a mobile data gift package campaign.
These judgments are based on the accurate identification of operator affiliation, otherwise it will easily lead to strategy focus and resource waste.
How Digital Planet identifies operators in batches
The Digital Planet number screening and detection platform has a built-in global mainstream number segment database and supports the identification processing of all mainstream operators in Europe and the United States. Users only need to upload a batch of mobile phone numbers, and the system will automatically complete the following steps:
lDetermine the country of the number (such as the United States/Germany/France)
lThe operator that identifies the number (e.g.Verizon/Vodafone)
lOutput classified reports, including operator distribution ratio, country distribution ratio, and number of available numbers
No manual participation from the company is required, and it is suitable for use in high-frequency, large-volume, and multi-country scenarios.
In addition, the platform also supports further filtering functions: for example, only FranceOrange users may only download German Vodafone user data, which facilitates subsequent targeted marketing, data cleaning, SMS distribution, account grouping, etc.
Practical application case sharing
A company that provides online language training plans to conduct SMS promotion in Germany and France at the same time. In the early days, they tried to import all German and French numbers into the system for batch delivery. However, they found that the delivery failure rate for some French numbers was high because some number segments were listed as sensitive segments for spam marketing by operators.
Subsequently, they used the Digital Planet number screening and detection platform to screen all numbers for operator affiliation, eliminate sensitive segments, and screen out active segments and high-quality operators. After adjustment, the promotion conversion rate has changed from the original1.8% increased to 3.2%, and the click-through rate also increased by nearly 50%.
