Digital Platform API - Carrier service

  • Articolo

Mobile carriers, also known as wireless carriers or mobile network operators, own or control all the elements necessary to sell and deliver wireless communication services to users of mobile devices. The read-only Mobile Carrier Service allows you to see what mobile carriers are registered in our system. You can use this service to retrieve the IDs of carriers for targeting in mobile campaigns.

Note

You can target mobile campaigns based on the make and model of mobile devices as well. For more details, see the Device Make Service and Device Model Service.
