What is MSISDN Tracking ?
MSISDN stands for Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number — the globally unique identifier assigned to every mobile subscriber. In plain terms, it is a mobile phone number with its country code prefix. For an Indian number, the MSISDN is 91 followed by the 10-digit number — for example, 919876543210.
When you pass an MSISDN to Dotmove's Location API, the platform queries the subscriber's registered telecom operator — Airtel, Jio, or Vi — which returns the cell tower data associated with that SIM card's current connection. Dotmove processes this into a precise latitude/longitude coordinate using cell-ID triangulation and returns it to your system in under 1 second.
This is fundamentally different from GPS tracking. GPS requires a device, line-of-sight to satellites, and hardware installation. MSISDN tracking requires nothing on the tracked device — only an active SIM card and a one-time consent from the subscriber. It works in basements, parking structures, dense urban areas, and remote rural highways where GPS fails entirely.
Why MSISDN Tracking Is Not Optional For Indian Logistics ?
Without real-time MSISDN tracking, your operations team is flying blind. Dispatchers make calls. Drivers report verbally. E-Way Bills expire while vehicles sit in traffic with nobody aware. The financial consequences are significant — and entirely avoidable.
₹7,00,000
GST penalty incurred in a single month
A leading Iron and Steel manufacturer in Eastern India accumulated ₹7 lakhs in E-Way Bill penalties in one month before deploying Dotmove's MSISDN tracker. Their vehicles were crossing state checkpoints with expired bills — a problem entirely invisible to their operations team without real-time location tracking. From the month of Dotmove deployment onwards: Zero violations. Zero penalties.
How It Works ?
From mobile number to real-time location in 4 API calls
01
Import MSISDN
Pass the mobile number to the Import API. Dotmove registers it in your account and prepares the consent workflow.
POST/IMPORT
02
Collect Consent
Dotmove automatically sends an SMS or IVR consent request to the subscriber. TRAI-compliant. Zero engineering from your team.
POST/CONSENT
03
Query Location
Call the Location API at any interval. Dotmove queries the operator and returns latitude, longitude, and accuracy radius.
GET/LOCATION
04
Act On Data
Use the coordinate in your platform — route optimisation, E-Way Bill monitoring, geofencing, attendance, ETA calculation.

Technical Specifications
Domain-based API built to industry standards
Dotmove's MSISDN Tracker API is built on a domain-based architecture — meaning each API call is scoped to your enterprise account domain, ensuring data isolation, security, and auditability. This is the same standard used by telecom operators and financial institutions — not the shared-credential approach used by most SIM tracking startups.
< 1 sec
API response time
Industry-standard latency. Real-time fleet decisions require real-time data. Dotmove's MSISDN Location API consistently returns under 1 second across Airtel, Jio, and Vi networks.
500
MSISDNs per bulk call
Query up to 500 mobile numbers in a single Bulk Location API call. For large fleet or workforce deployments, this dramatically reduces API call volume and cost.
REST
Protocol · JSON responses
Standard REST architecture with JSON responses. Integrates with any platform — your TMS, WMS, CRM, or custom operations software — without proprietary SDKs or vendor lock-in.
4
Consent modes supported
SMS, IVR, Web URL, and Missed Call consent modes — covering every workforce profile from urban smartphone users to rural feature phone drivers.
