Number Lookup

Correct routing is important to provide quality of service for SMS and voice traffic, as well as to reduce costs that can be incurred due to usage of wrong SMSCs or Voice Gateways. New capabilities such as number portability are creating challenges to routing based on the prefix of a MSISDN, as well as increasing costs.
