Device Roaming Status

Check whether a device is currently roaming — and which country it's roaming in — straight from the operator network.

Benefits

Device Roaming Status reports whether a subscriber's device is connected to a visited network rather than its home network, and which country that network is in. Roaming state is a meaningful signal: it can corroborate a user's claimed travel, explain unusual transaction locations, or flag activity that doesn't fit the expected pattern — all without GPS or any action from the user.

How it works

You ask the operator about a number's current network attachment.

Your backend calls Device Roaming Status with the phone number.
The operator reports whether the device is roaming and, where available, the country code of the visited network.
You feed that into your logic — risk scoring, regional rules, or travel confirmation.

Use cases

Transaction risk scoring — corroborate or challenge a payment when the device is roaming far from the cardholder's usual region.
Travel-aware experiences — adapt content, pricing, or support routing when a user is abroad.
Fraud detection — flag impossible-travel patterns by combining roaming country with recent activity.
Compliance & regional rules — apply jurisdiction-specific behaviour based on where the device is attached.

Successful response:
