What problem are we solving?
For a while we have permitted phone numbers to be an input for our background checks, but there was no specific goal for it. Now we're able to return information about the phone number in Colombia.
Which product is it related to?
Background Checks.
What is the feature?
If you insert the phone_number as a input, the check response shows information about the operator, sim card changes and activation date.
Why is this useful?
It's more information that will feed your decision making models.
How to do it?
It's just another input in the background check (both API and Front).
Let's give for example inputs for a check person from Colombia:
national_id: 1122334455
country: CO
phone_number: 31294739407
So the information about this phone number will be presented in a dataset called "Device Data".
Who needs to decide or take action?
Your Operations team.
Is it optional/mandatory?
Optional.
