Vonage Network Features
Vonage Network Features expose new capabilities from mobile operators, going beyond traditional SMS and Voice services.
Some Vonage Network Features are developed based on the CAMARA standards, an open-source initiative within the Linux Foundation. CAMARA standardizes API requirements and publishes definitions to create a unified API solution. This allows developers to access to network capabilities across different networks and countries, allowing applications to work consistently across different operators worldwide.
The following table contains the list of supported Network Features:
| API | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Verify API | Authenticate your end-users using one-time passcodes using different channels such as Silent Authentication, SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, Email, and Voice. |
| Identity Insights API | Provides real-time access to a broad set of carrier, subscriber, and device attributes associated with a phone number — including network-level features such as SIM Swap and Subscriber Match. You can request any combination of these attribute groups in a single API call. |
| Device Location Retrieval API | Retrieve the last known location of a SIM enabled device that is connected to the network using cellular network positioning. |
| Quality on Demand API | Manage your application's traffic to gain more consistent performance from the network. |
Coverage
The coverage of Network Features varies depending on the API. For a full list of countries where each API is available, see the Coverage guide.
Playground
Use the Playground, a safe and controlled testing environment where API calls return live data only for a small group of allowlisted phone numbers, to start using Network Features right away. Unlike production, it does not require approval from Operators.
