About Telesign

Telesign provides digital identity and programmable communications APIs. Founded in 2005 and part of the Proximus Group, it connects businesses with telecom-derived information and verification services. This catalogue reviews Phone ID as a data input for identity and fraud workflows.

Telesign’s mobile-identity material includes online gambling among the use cases. That does not establish permission for every communications product: the published SMS, RCS and voice restrictions must be reviewed separately when buying those services.

Source review confirms the recorded declaration, not an independent audit of every customer. Brands, customer groups and merchants are different units. Employee and follower counts do not affect this score.

The range describes Telesign, not all Proximus Group employees. Five billion phone numbers and 230+ countries with data coverage are not commercial customer counts or markets with customers; both are excluded. Under commercial-reach-v2, workforce figures are retained as company context and do not affect the score. Only commercial footprint and geographic reach are scored.
