Scope and legal
A phone number is personal data almost everywhere, and in many countries subscriber information is protected by
telecom secrecy laws. Look numbers up only for a defined purpose.
Never call or text the number as part of an investigation unless that is explicitly in scope. Account checks
in this playbook do not notify the owner.
Carrier lookups that query the network (HLR lookups) reveal whether a phone is switched on and roaming. They are
intrusive and regulated; they are deliberately not part of this playbook.
Ported numbers. Most countries let people keep their number when they change carrier. The carrier you find is
the one the range was originally assigned to.
