Silent Carrier Authentication
Verifies identity directly at the SIM level. No message sent, no user interaction required.
Verification in Seconds
Authentication happens in the background the moment a user opens your app.
The End of OTP Fraud
Network-level verification means nothing to intercept, nothing to spoof, nothing to steal.
The risk of SMS fraud is no longer a future threat, it’s a daily cost. We give you a smarter route to verification, built on carrier relationships that took decades to build.
Direct relationships with mobile network operators across the globe, giving you carrier-level reach from day one.
Verification happens in the background. No code sent. No user action required. Authentication in seconds.
No SMS means no interception, no SIM-swap vulnerability, and no fake code attempts hitting your platform.
Connect via a single API. Our gateway handles all carrier complexity so your team doesn’t have to.
Remove friction from your onboarding and login flows. Fewer abandoned verifications means more active users.
Built to the GSMA TS.43 standard, ensuring interoperability across carriers and compliance with industry protocols.
With IDT global’s PNA, enterprises get carrier-grade verification across hundreds of MNOs worldwide, without building a single operator relationship themselves.

Industry Adoption
Silent network authentication is no longer an emerging concept, it’s being actively evaluated and deployed by enterprises and platforms at global scale, as a direct replacement for SMS OTP.
Meta has published a white paper outlining their evaluation of silent authentication APIs as a replacement for SMS OTP across their platforms, citing fraud immunity, conversion gains, and stronger telco-enterprise partnerships as key drivers.
At MWC 2025, Telefónica demonstrated SIM-based authentication via secure tokens using TS.43 and GSMA Open Gateway Number Verification, integrated directly into Google's Firebase phone verification service.
The UAE Central Bank, Reserve Bank of India, and multiple APAC regulators have issued guidance directing financial institutions to move beyond SMS OTP, citing SIM swap exposure and SS7 vulnerabilities as the primary drivers.
NIST SP 800-63B Rev 4 (2025) formally classifies SMS OTP as a "restricted authenticator." CISA and the FBI issued a joint advisory explicitly recommending organisations stop relying on SMS authentication.
As of early 2025, 72 mobile operators had committed to GSMA Open Gateway APIs, representing approximately 80% of global mobile connections, building the commercial infrastructure for carrier-grade silent authentication at scale.
The banking, financial services, and insurance sector is the fastest-growing adopter of network-level authentication, driven by compliance pressure, fraud costs, and digital-first customer experience mandates.
