Mobile number is not tied to operator anymore, so no, at least not from the number itself. – Rok Jarc Dec 08 '16 at 06:54

you can identify the network type. But not sure the operator http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8400340/determining-3g-vs-edge/13127014#13127014 – Puvanarajan Dec 08 '16 at 07:03

@Jarc, Thanks for your quick reply. Is there any solution to validate if the entered mobile number is valid or not? – Shashi Tiwari Dec 08 '16 at 07:03

@Puvanarajan This is not what I am looking for. Thanks for your support! – Shashi Tiwari Dec 08 '16 at 07:11

@ShashiTiwari: if you are thinking of 'if it looks valid' then there are a couple of regex-es that can do this (kind of, none of them are 100%). If you are thinking of 'if certain number is active' then no. – Rok Jarc Dec 08 '16 at 07:16

You need to use an HLR lookup service. Most have APIs available, although I'm not sure about Obj C. – Jeff Dec 13 '16 at 23:40
