MVNO Discovery For Vodafone

MVNO Discovery enables an aggregator to perform a pre-check before calling any of Vodafone's API to verify if the MSISDN is part of Vodafone's user base or not.

This API follows a proprietary Vodafone specification.

It can be used for

• Performing a pre-check.

• Verifying if a number is managed by an MVNO on the Vodafone Network.

• Seamless verification of the mobile number in real-time.

How it works

1. A possible scenario where a connected party would call this MVNO Discovery API could be the following: an aggregator wants to confirm if Vodafone can perform a KYC check before they make the request to the Match API.

2. The MVNO Discovery API checks in real-time whether the phone number is managed by an MVNO on the Vodafone Network.

3. The API responds with true or false as to whether the number is currently managed by an MVNO on the Vodafone network .

4. The aggregator can then use this information to decide whether to make a request to the Match API. If the response shows the MSISDN belongs to an MVNO, then they can act accordingly.

Billing Rule

A billable event occurs when the service returns an HTTP 200 response indicating that the submitted MSISDN is registered to an MVNO operating on the Vodafone network.

Run in Postman

To begin using the Vodafone workspace in Postman, please follow the steps below to create a set of credentials that can be used with our sandbox collections:

• Register an account on https://developer.vodafone.com and create a sandbox app for the APIs that you are interested in.

• Use the Client Key and Secret from your sandbox app to populate the relating variables in the "Sandbox Credentials" environment group in Postman.

• Call the token endpoint to create a bearer token that is used in the API resource endpoint. Your client credentials will be taken from the environment variables and used in a basic OAuth flow.

• You need to call the token end-point for each API as the API scope is held in the request body of the token call.

• The last bearer token and trace ID will be stored in collection variables associated with the API solution that you have chosen.

• You can use these collections as read-only or create a fork into your own personal workspace to edit the details.
