SS7/Telephone Network Lookups
There is one piece of information that is only obtainable from the national telephone network itself. Only the phone
network is able to tell you if a phone number is active and connected with 5 minute accuracy levels. Directory Assistance
(DA/411) repositories are updated every 24 hours. Compiled/Whitepage based repositories are typically updated about every
month. But if you need to know that a phone number is active right now, you have to be able to ask the phone network itself.
This is done using what the telephone service industry calls the SS7 Network.
SS7 is a network of computer systems and databases the phone system uses itself to figure out how to connect any two
telephones anywhere in the global network. The data it uses to do this, including the status of every phone number, is
updated every 5 minutes. PacificEast provides a simple entry point into that network via a real-time product (accessible
via an XML transaction) that allows you to ask the phone network for status information without actually being connected to
the system itself. This product (FullStatus) starts with telephone numbers you
already have and returns status information about those numbers.
FullStatus Starting from a full 10-digit phone number, FullStatus returns a telco-sourced name and address as well as
these 4 fields::
- PhoneServiceType - what type of phone is associated to that number (landline, cell, etc.)
- Status - The status of the line (active, inactive, etc.)
- PortingStatus - whether the phone number has been ported
- CarrierGroup - the telephone company serving that phone line
