In global communications and cross-border business, although many numbers are in the network"alive", but actuallyin roaming state. This means that users may be overseas, the communication quality is unstable, and they may not even be able to receive text messages or voice messages normally. For enterprises that rely on SMS verification codes, voice verification, registration activation, and marketing contact,Determine if the number is roaming, is a preliminary step that cannot be ignored.

Especially in cross-border e-commerce, social registration, financial services, internationalIn fields such as SaaS, more and more companies are choosing to use Digital Planet services to identify the roaming status of numbers in real time, thereby making more accurate communication and risk control decisions.

What is the roaming status of a mobile phone number?

When the user of a mobile phone number leaves the country or region where the number belongs and the device is connected to the network of an overseas operator, it is called"In roaming state".

For example:

lAccess from mainland China mobile phone number in the United StatesT-Mobile Network

lUK number for use in FranceOrange network

lIndian numbers pass through the Middle EastEtisalat online registration

Although this type of roaming status does not affect the existence of the number itself, communication capabilities, signaling quality, SMS delivery rate, and voice connection rate will be affected.

Why should roaming status be identified in advance?

The following problems are often caused by"Roaming status not recognized" results in:

lCan't receive text message: Some operators have restrictions on roaming text messages, and verification code text messages are delayed or even failed.

lVoice dialing failed: The success rate of voice calls decreases and dialing costs increase in roaming environments.

lIncreased registration failure rate: Registration on social platforms often relies on text messages, and roaming users often miss the window due to delays in verification codes.

lDifficulty in cost control: The cost of reaching roaming users is higher. If the status is not understood, channels and resources will be wasted.

lRisks are difficult to judge: Some abnormal behaviors such as disguiseIP + overseas number registration can easily lead to misjudgment of risk control

Therefore, if the system can determine in advance whether the user is roaming, it will greatly improve communication efficiency and risk control accuracy.

What does the roaming status detection service recognize?

A stable roaming identification interface usually returns the following information:

lIs it roaming (yes/ no)

lRoaming country or region code

lLocal operator name (if it was originally China Mobile, it is now roaming toAT&T)

lWhether to support SMS service (restricted or not)

lWhether to support voice services (restricted or not)

lCommunication quality scores (e.g. reachability, latency, failure rate)

Digital Planet’s roaming identification service supports global mainstream operators andMVNO numbers can effectively judge most international roaming behaviors and output structured identification results.

What are the typical usage scenarios?

1. Registration verification system

After the user submits their mobile phone number, the roaming status is detected. If the user is identified as an overseas roaming user, the user can be prompted to use a local number or enable an alternate verification channel (such as email, device authentication, etc.).

2. International SMS Platform

Adjust the SMS channel selection according to the roaming location to avoid failure to send to the home network by default; you can also determine whether to delay the push.

3. Outbound call system

Detect the roaming status before making outbound calls and prioritize local users to increase the connection rate and reduce the cost of overseas calls.

4. Social Registration Strategy

Determine whether it is"Non-local registration behavior" uses IP, device, and operator data to make risk scores to prevent batch registration and simulator account swiping.

5. Cross-border e-commerce user identification

Identifying whether a user is a temporary roaming user, a tourist user, or a returning overseas user will help to refine the design of labels and reach strategies.

Does it support real-time calling and batch identification?

Yes. According to different business needs, you can choose:

lreal timeAPI identification: Suitable for instant judgment of roaming status during the registration process to optimize front-end experience

lBatch import recognition: Suitable for data platforms to uniformly screen user number segments, determine which users are roaming, and adjust marketing or reach strategies in a timely manner

Digital Planet supports these two methods, with stable output, fast speed, high accuracy, and adaptabilityCRM, SMS system, registration platform, number pool management and other systems.

Status information used?

It is recommended to use the following data in conjunction with roaming status determination:

lOperator type (mainnet/virtual/VoIP)

lCurrent communication status (power on/ power off / no signal)

lCommunication capabilities (whether SMS and voice support are supported)

lLast active time

lNational and regional strategies (whether the target country supports overseas SMS)

Joint judgment can determine more accurately:

lWhether to allow continued registration

lWhether to push SMS/Make a call

lWhether to trigger the backup channel

lWhether to be included in the risk control observation pool

lWhether to be classified into the high-cost user tag group

Users are flowing around the world, and your judgment must be more accurate. Identifying whether a user is roaming is not only for the success of communication, but also for whether you should take the initiative to communicate, whether it is worth continuing to try, and whether you want to avoid potential risks.

Don’t wait for text messages to fail, voice dialing to fail, or registration to be stuck before you investigate the cause. Through the roaming status identification service, the system can make judgments before operations are issued, improving experience, saving resources, and preventing risks.
