HLR is an excellent tool for checking the recipients' database from incorrect or inactive phone numbers. Periodically, your telephone numbers database needs to be cleaned, because your customers can give you incorrect phone numbers when filling out the questionnaires or provide you with incorrect information for registration. This carries additional costs for you, because when you send SMS campaigns to "bad numbers", you also pay money for these SMS. You can save your money and spend it more profitably by checking the numbers using the HLR service.
