The announcement makes TIM one of the first operators in the world to have the APIs ready for commercialization in Brazil.
“TIM’s commitment reinforces our commitment to the Open Gateway and our international pioneering spirit.

Our main goal is to help provide security to customers, support the corporate market and benefit the population,” said Renato Ciuchini, VP of New Business and Innovation, TIM Brasil.
The GSMA Open Gateway initiative represents a paradigm shift in the way the global telecommunications industry designs and brings to market new mobile applications and digital and immersive services.
The project guarantees 100% privacy from conception and fully complies with Brazil’s the LGPD regulations.
TIM, as a leading 5G operator with one of the largest mobile networks in the country, has launched three APIs as part of this GSMA-led global collaboration:
- Number Verify for real-time verification of mobile number.
- SIM Swap to detect recent SIM card changes.
- Device Location to confirm the proximity of a device to a location – assisting in the prevention of false transactions.
