Three LexisNexis® Phone Finder “Search Options” enable
users to access the level of information that fits specific research needs.
Basic Search: The Basic option will search in-house LexisNexis® content to provide the best subjects for an input phone, or identifies and ranks the best phones for an input subject. It also includes additional “Ported Flag” meta data on the primary phone.
Premium Search: The Premium option will access everything included in the Basic search while digging deeper by utilizing a real-time phones gateway to retrieve additional subjects, find more phones, and get detailed information on the phone number. This option also provides additional meta data on the primary phone, like “Status”, “CallerID”, “Ported History”, “Prepaid” information and more. The Premium option allows you display a “Phone Risk Indictor” associated to the primary phone based on configurable business rules. The rules are based on the phone meta data and phone activity provided.
Ultimate Search: The Ultimate option will access everything included in the Premium search while leveraging two additional third-party phone content providers, including an additional consumer bureau phone provider, to get the most detailed connections between identities and phones. This option also provides one additional meta data value “Spoofing History” based on the primary phone. The additional value is available within the configurable business rules to be used when displaying the “Phone Risk Indicator”.
Line Risk Assessment: The Line Risk Assessment option will execute a risk assessment against the phone number entered within the search parameters. The assessment is based on 7 of the customer configurable rules. The rules are based on the Porting, Spoofing and OTP velocity checks. A message will be displayed when the Risk Indicator returned is a “Fail” or “Warn”. The system will proceed directly to the OTP option when the Risk Rule is “Pass” allowing an OTP transaction to be completed.
