U Mobile has announced that it is offering a SIM-based Phone Number Verification (PNV) service via its ULTRA5G network. This service, which is the product of the telco’s partnership with Telenor Linx, provides businesses and developers with an easier way to securely authenticate users.
Basically, the PNV service lets digital platforms and service providers verify users without needing them to enter an SMS One-Time Password (OTP). This simplifies processes like registration, login, and identity verification as it reduces the number of required steps—users won’t have to wait for an OTP and manually enter it. Instead, users are automatically authenticated via U Mobile’s network. At the same time, the company assures that the service strengthens fraud protection and digital trust.
