How Does the Phone Validation API Work?

Phone-Validator checks numbers to see if they are valid and active/connected. The service uses live network queries along with a large set of internal and external data sources to ensure maximum accuracy.

  • Standardizes numbers in national and international format.
  • Provides additional enrichment information like the line type (cell phone/mobile or landline), location details, carrier/operator (MCC/MNC) etc.
  • No actual calls are made during the phone number verification process.
  • Supports 240+ countries world-wide.

Phone number verification can be done in real-time in order to check the customer's details before they become a part of your user database. This can save online businesses a substantial amount of time and money.
