Atlas is a carrier-grade Global Numbering Plan (GNP) that provides authoritative intelligence on over 3.1 million number ranges across 18,000 networks. Unlike static or “free” directories, it identifies the validity, allocation, and specific service type (e.g., VoIP, M2M, Satellite) of any phone number globally in real-time.
Our data is updated every business day. We perform hundreds of updates per month across the world, with daily updates for volatile markets like the USA. Our dedicated team proactively reviews operator IR21s and ITU changes to ensure intelligence is integrated according to strict SLAs.
Atlas acts as a first line of defence by identifying invalid, unallocated, or suspicious service numbers commonly used in CLI spoofing, SMS pumping, and International Revenue Share Fraud (IRSF). This allows Anti-Fraud vendors and carriers to block high-risk traffic before it reaches the network or incurs costs.
Yes, as a matter of fact, many of these surcharges derive from CLIs’ misrepresentations or spoofing, where invalid or unallocated numbers appear as the origin. This can be caused by carriers themselves that try to deliver a call in an invalid format or by a fraudster spoofing invalid numbers to inflate OBR in a revenue share scheme. Atlas enables immediate spotting of such numbers and correcting CLI syntax or triggering fraud alerts.

Yes, by helping “normalise” the CLI before it hits a downstream carrier that would have applied a Penalty Surcharge.
Standard numbering plans often incorrectly flag active, ported numbers as “unallocated” when a telco returns a range to a regulator. Our deep-source analysis identifies these valid numbers, preventing “false negatives” that lead to blocked legitimate connections and lost revenue.
We offer flexible access methods to suit your infrastructure:
With over 50 billion number changes occurring globally every month, numbering data decays rapidly. A query-based interface ensures you are hitting our 10 globally distributed nodes for the most current data available. If you opt for a download, we recommend monthly updates at a minimum to avoid significant data gaps.
Origin-Based Rating Inflation fraud often relies on invalid or fabricated CLIs to overwrite the real caller ID. The fraudster, usually tied to a revenue-share arrangement with the terminating party, hijacks the connection, manipulates the sender ID, and replaces it with a number from a high-OBR-cost origin. This forces the call to be billed at an inflated rate while the fraudster hides behind the spoofed CLI. Curated numbering plans are essential here, as invalid and unallocated ranges are typically the first indicators of this type of scam.
E-type is the regulator’s service classification for a number range, the tag that tells operators whether a block is freephone, satellite, premium, M2M, paging, shared-cost, or any other special service. It determines how the number should be routed, billed, and monitored. TMT ID provides 33 different E-Types for the most granular classification of service subtypes. For example, if a fraudster spoofs a geographic landline number to make it look like a cheap “Fixed” origin, but the number plan reveals that the range is actually a high-cost Premium Rate or Satellite service, the carrier can correctly rate (or block) the call.
It’s a clean and simple process: first of all, we offer a Proof of Concept where we test batches of traffic and provide insights while bringing the customer hand in hand in the interpretation and evaluation of findings. We also provide test access to our API for customer to perform further testing on their side. Moving from a test account to a live one is a matter of clicks, and a speedy GTM is guaranteed.
