Simple, consented access
to a user’s verified Phone Number

How does it work?

• The Service Provider requests the operator for the user’s phone number using the Mobile Connect OIDC API.
• The Operator obtains the user’s consent via their mobile so they can share the information – the MSISDN.
• If the user consents the operator will provide the user’s MSISDN to the Service Provider who requested it.

How is it used?

• Provides a phone number allowing contact with the user when finalising an eCommerce transaction.
• Automatic filling on online forms, avoiding potential data entry errors.
• Enables a Service Provider to identify that the user has an existing account via MSISDN indexing.
• Reduction of fraud by confirming the user’s telephone number.
