How it works
A fraudster tries a financial transaction from another country by impersonating a mobile subscriber.
The financial service provider sends a Home Network Check request to Vodafone using the subscribers mobile phone number (MSISDN).
Vodafone responds with
trueorfalserelating to whether the device is connected to the Home Network or is roaming.The financial service provider can use this information, along with other data they hold about their customer, to decide whether to allow or deny the transaction.
Billing Rule
A billable event occurs when the service returns an HTTP 200 OK response.
