The HLR record comprise of IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) which is a unique identifier for each SIM card. The HLR holds other meta information like Mobile Switching Centre (MSC), Mobile country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC).
HLR lookups helps in finding out information related to the status of any mobile phone number. It provides information on the home network of a mobile subscriber, whether the number is valid, whether the number is active, whether the number is on roaming or whether the number is ported to some other network.

Common Industry Challenges.

Currently businesses have to deal with the challenge of working with obsolete databases which don’t have real time information of their target audience.
Many of the business houses are working with databases that have invalid and not active mobile numbers that cause wasteful expenditure of their limited resources.
Businesses have no idea of whether the mobile numbers in their database are unavailable or in roaming. They don’t have information on which mobile numbers are ported to other networks which may cause them additional cost.
The lack of information on the mobile numbers, which are recently ported, may impact their customer engagement. They may also face the challenge of sending confidential information to unauthorized mobile numbers.
