Instantly detect the mobile operator and circle from any Indian mobile number — no manual selection needed.
The Operator Detection API identifies which telecom operator — Airtel, Jio, Vi, BSNL, and others — a mobile number belongs to, along with its telecom circle, in real time.
This is essential for any recharge platform, app, or billing system where you don't want to ask the user to manually pick their operator, which is a common source of failed or wrong-operator recharges.
Built for recharge apps, plan comparison portals, and billing systems.
Real-time detection with low latency.
Backed by live, regularly updated number-series data.
Simple REST endpoint with JSON responses.
An Operator Detection API identifies the telecom operator (Airtel, Jio, Vi, BSNL, etc.) and the circle for any given Indian mobile number, in real time.
Detecting the operator automatically removes the need for your users to manually select their operator, reducing failed or wrong-operator recharges.
The API uses live telecom number-series data, so detection is accurate for all major Indian operators and updated as number ranges (MNP/porting) change.
