Meo, Nos and Vodafone join forces to create additional security levels in customer applications

The three operators have adopted GSMA Open Gateway standards to allow mobile applications, such as banking apps, to integrate two new verification services: phone number validation and 'SIM Swap' detection. These services will provide apps with a simple 'yes' or 'no' response to verify that the device accessing the service is associated with the correct SIM card, without sharing personal customer data. A third service, 'number recycle', is scheduled to be available by early 2027 to verify when a phone number was reassigned to a new user.
