DNA offers Firebase Phone Number Verification to its customers as the first operator in the Nordics

Firebase PNV is a new way to confirm a user’s phone number directly from the mobile operator without sending verification codes via SMS. The SIM card in the user’s device and the operator together verify the phone number for the application with a single tap. This makes new user sign-up and login faster, more secure, and less error‑prone than traditional text‑message-based verification codes and their manual input. Firebase PNV retrieves the phone number directly from the operator through an API interface for verification.

“With this verification service, DNA’s Android customers will have an even smoother and more secure way to verify their phone numbers across various services. This perfectly supports our vision for a smarter and safer tomorrow,” says Anna-Mari Ylihurula, Senior Vice President, Corporate Business at DNA.

“DNA’s focus and expertise on security and its long-standing role as a Google Cloud partner made it a natural fit as the first operator in the Nordics to support Firebase PNV,” says Micah Baker, Sr. Product Manager, Google Cloud.

The service will be freely available to all DNA customers using Android phones with applications that update to use it. When an application uses the new service, a new user consent will display before the phone number is shared.
