Vodafone

Vodafone Group plc is a UK-headquartered (Newbury, England) multinational telecommunications company and one of the world's largest mobile and fixed network operators, with operations in 15 country markets and partner-market agreements covering 40+ additional countries across Europe and Africa. The group serves 279 million mobile customers, 5 million business customers, and manages 215+ million IoT connections through its Vodafone IoT platform. Beyond mobile and broadband connectivity, Vodafone operates one of the largest IoT/M2M businesses in the industry, invests in 70+ subsea cables, and runs financial services like M-PESA (Africa) and Vodapay. Through Vodafone Business it sells connectivity, cloud, security, and managed-mobility services to enterprises, and through the GSMA Open Gateway and CAMARA initiative it exposes a growing portfolio of standardised network APIs (Number Verify, SIM Swap, Quality on Demand, Device Location, Match, MVNO Discovery, and more) via the Vodafone Developer Marketplace (developer.vodafone.com), which publishes 27+ commercial and CAMARA APIs across Identity, Mobile, Analytics, Boost/QoS, and Partner categories. The Marketplace exposes sandbox and live endpoints under api-sandbox.vf-dmp.engineering.vodafone.com and api.vf-dmp.engineering.vodafone.com, with OAuth2 (Consumer Key / Consumer Secret) authentication and Postman collections for every product. Vodafone is a premier member of the CAMARA alliance hosted at the Linux Foundation, a founding participant in the GSMA Open Gateway, and one of the principal telco operators driving network-as-an-API adoption globally.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Vodafone

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Vodafone. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 27

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Number Verification 2.0 (CAMARA)

Frictionless mobile-number verification that confirms ownership of the MSISDN currently in use on the device, using the operator network rather than SMS one-time-passcodes. Impl...

Number Verification 1.0 (CAMARA)

Earlier CAMARA Number Verification implementation, still maintained for backwards compatibility with integrations built before the 2.0 release.

SIM Swap (CAMARA)

CAMARA SIM Swap API that returns the timestamp of the most recent SIM change for a given MSISDN (latestSimChange), used by banks and fintech apps to detect SIM-swap fraud before...

Match (CAMARA)

CAMARA-aligned identity-match API that compares user-supplied attributes (name, address, date of birth) against operator-held subscriber records and returns match/no-match indic...

Number Recycling (CAMARA)

Tells callers whether a mobile number has been recycled (re-assigned to a new subscriber) since a given date, so that downstream systems can revoke stale account bindings before...

Quality on Demand

CAMARA Quality on Demand API for requesting a temporary QoS uplift on a specific UE session — used for cloud gaming, live broadcast contribution, drone control, and other latenc...

Quality of Service Profiles

Lists the QoS profiles a developer may request via Quality on Demand, including profile identifiers, throughput class, and latency targets.

QoS Provisioning

Longer-lived QoS provisioning for enterprise customers who want a persistent QoS profile applied to a set of subscriptions. Available in DE and UK.

Active Subscriber

Confirms whether an MSISDN is currently an active Vodafone subscriber. Available in UK.

Age Verify

Network-based age-assurance lookup that returns whether the subscriber behind a given MSISDN is above a configured age threshold, without revealing the underlying date of birth.

Call Divert

Indicates whether call forwarding is currently active on the target number — a useful signal for fraud-detection flows where divert-to- attacker is a common attack vector.

Home Network Check

Returns whether a subscriber is currently on their home network or roaming — useful for fraud-scoring and conditional flows that adjust behaviour based on roaming status.

MVNO Discovery

Resolves the underlying MVNO/host-network for a given mobile number so that callers can route their integration to the correct operator API endpoint.

Number Lookup

HLR-style lookup returning the operator, country, portability status, and basic line-type metadata for a given E.164 mobile number.

Number Recycle

Vodafone's pre-CAMARA Number Recycling lookup, retained alongside the CAMARA-aligned variant for existing integrations.

Tenure

Returns how long the current subscriber has held the MSISDN — short tenure is a strong signal in fraud-scoring models for newly-acquired numbers used in account takeovers.

Brand Registration

Registers a sender brand for A2P SMS and Verified Caller flows so that consumer handsets display branded sender identity rather than a raw short-code or number. Available in DE ...

Verified Caller

Branded-calling product that lets enterprises display a verified brand name and reason-for-call on the called party's handset. Available in UK.

SMS Messaging Hub

A2P SMS messaging gateway for sending one-time-passcodes, alerts, and marketing messages to Vodafone subscribers and onward via interconnect.

Vodafone Roaming Services (VRS)

Vodafone Roaming Services Network Usage Event API streams roaming network-usage events to partner operators for settlement, fraud detection, and customer-experience monitoring. ...

Helper API for resolving Bing-style QuadKey tile identifiers used as the spatial primary key by Vodafone Analytics Footfall products.

Vodafone Analytics — Free Location Dataset

Free-tier aggregated location dataset for evaluating Vodafone Analytics before committing to paid Footfall products.

Block SIM

Partner API for blocking a SIM (e.g. lost-or-stolen) on the Vodafone network on behalf of an authenticated subscriber. Available in NL.

Get PUK Code

Partner API for retrieving a PUK unblocking code on behalf of an authenticated subscriber whose SIM is PIN-locked. Available in NL.
