Mobile Identity

Mobile Identity uses data from mobile network operators to verify that a user really holds the phone number they claim — often silently, with no code to type — and to protect online transactions.

How silent verification works

  1. The user enters their number in your app or website.
  2. Your backend requests silent verification for that number.
  3. The user's device makes a request over its mobile data connection.
  4. The operator confirms whether the device's SIM matches the number.
  5. The result is posted to your webhook and you approve or step up.

Typical uses

  • Frictionless sign-up and login on mobile
  • Step-up checks before high-value transactions
  • Reducing one-time-passcode costs and interception risk
