Delivering local mobile experiences globally is operationally complex

Local trust

International numbers reduce mobile engagement

Customers are less likely to answer calls or respond to messages from unfamiliar international numbers, impacting engagement, conversions, and service accessibility.

Cost barrier

High international tariffs limit reachability

International calling and messaging costs discourage customers from contacting businesses, reducing interaction volumes and satisfaction levels.

Compliance

Mobile number regulations vary by country

Residency rules, documentation requirements, and mobile number policies differ across markets, slowing launches and increasing compliance risk.

Empower voice and SMS engagement through local mobile identities worldwide

Create authentic local engagement experiences with mobile numbers that connect your business to customers across borders. Our Mobile Local Number Service (MLNS) enables enterprises, digital platforms, and cloud communication providers to offer local mobile identities for voice and SMS communications in multiple countries. By combining global reach with local accessibility, MLNS helps organisations increase customer trust, improve responsiveness, and deliver seamless communication experiences at scale.

OV_MLNS_01
Global mobile local presence across multiple countries

MLNS provides in-country mobile numbers that allow customers and end users to place calls or send SMS as if communicating locally. While the experience remains local for the caller, traffic is routed internationally to the business’s chosen destination—central office, contact centre, cloud platform, or application—enabling a true local presence from anywhere.

OV_MLNS_02
Centralised routing for mobile voice and SMS traffic

All inbound mobile calls and messages from different countries can be routed to a single global hub—SIP, PSTN, or application endpoint. This centralised model simplifies operations, ensures consistent service delivery, and enables better control over routing, quality, and scalability across regions.

App and platform integration for OTT and CPaaS providers

MLNS integrates seamlessly with OTT platforms and cloud communication services via APIs, enabling mobile-originated voice and SMS within applications. Providers can embed local mobile identities into their platforms, improving user experience while maintaining centralised service delivery and global reach.

OV_MLNS_04
Regulatory-compliant mobile number provisioning

Tata Communications manages country-specific documentation, verification, and regulatory requirements for mobile numbers. This ensures faster onboarding, reduced risk, and ongoing compliance—allowing businesses to expand confidently without navigating local telecom regulations independently.
