The Anatomy of a Telecom Carrier Lookup
When you submit a phone number to Stripe, Mercury Bank, or PayPal, their underwriting systems query telecom aggregators (such as Neustar, Twilio Lookup, or Telesign). These queries return metadata including the Operating Company Number (OCN), Line Routing Number (LRN), and Line Type (e.g. Mobile, Landline, or Non-Fixed VoIP).
Disposable VoIP services (like Google Voice, TextNow, or Skype Number) are classified as 'Non-Fixed VoIP' and associated with high-fraud risk scorebands. Consequently, fintech risk engines automatically block these numbers from receiving 2FA passcodes.
